About:This is a museum-worthy, brand-new and complete Lionel "00" gauge train set (manufactured 1939-42), still in its original master carton and packaging and original instruction manual. The set has never been used, and all components remain sealed in their original packaging, including the instruction manual. Every part of this set is original and has never been replaced or substituted.Due to natural effects of aging, the packing tape on the master carton has lost its tackiness and has opened by itself to reveal the individually packaged components inside. However, the individually packaged components of the train are all in their original packaging and have never been touched, opened, or removed from their packaging.
