Delton Trains made some of the most detailed 1/2" - 1ft scale models for G gauge in the late 1980s. (way better than other brands in their day). Delton went Bankrupt and the tooling was later purchased by Aristocraft Trains. They continued the line under 'Aristocraft Delton Classics'. This one is a Denver, South Park & Pacific Gondola from the early 1880s, made by Aristo in 1999. The car is virtually brand new and seen very little run time. The origina...l box is provided, but is a little scuffed. You can read a bit more about Delton here:http://www.npcrr.com/Articles/PhilJensenStory/ThePhilJensenStory.pdf
