Occasionally played with in the'50 &'60's, a tiny bit in the'70's. But has been boxed and carefully stored since. I have no knowledge of it's current operating condition, but I recall it worked swell back then, very cool! Most parts and pieces still look exactly like I remember them.However, the transformer is likely in questionable shape. I'll include it, and you be the judge. My Dad did build a high-quality custom wall-mounted display case for this train set.
Contact me if interested, it's quite large and is available near Sacramento, California.
