Collection has v...ery few marks & the war bonnet decals have very few edges less than perfect.
I added the 2nd 473 & the 2nd 962 to the original red stripe set. If one's track is long with very gradual curves the entire collection looks like it's a mile long. When I last had this offering on the track the 470 pulled well with pullmor feature, all lights worked, air chime worked, all passenger cars lit up, diffusers present, silhouettes present. I have listed this offering as VG, but it is probably closer to E.
I last ran this unit about two years ago. The grand kids grew up & lost interest, so it's been on the shelf ever since. I would suggest a good service on the 470 as storage does not improve performance. With that said, I am selling the set as is, & any potential buyer needs to understand the conditions of sale.
