GILBERT AMERICAN FLYER HO 30320 PENN SWITCHER SET-1957 ORIG-NEAR MINT-GORGEOUS!

Description: *****THIS ITEM SHIPS TO ALL COUNTRIES SERVED BY THE EBAY INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING PROGRAM!***** Greetings and best wishes from Mr.Allied and welcome to my sale! Please have confidence in my 100% honest descriptions and please read the following carefully: This is an Original, American Flyer, "HO" Scale, No. 30320 Pennsylvania Railroad 0-6-0 Steam Switcher Freight Train Set, Produced by The Master Craftsmen of The A.C. Gilbert Company of New Haven, Connecticut, Circa 1957. This set was probably set up and run once, back in the 1950's, then carefully put back into the original boxes and stored away until now. So, it is not "brand new" or "mint," but it is probably the best one you will ever have a chance to buy. The loco is all diecast metal. I bench tested the loco and it runs nicely, with the "choo-choo" working as it puffs smoke. It has been sitting unused for decades and is probably in need of a cleaning & lubrication before it will run up to its potential, but I cannot imagine anyone wanting to run this "time capsule" set. The original boxes have some wear, but are near perfect. The two cardboard inserts, one below the trains and one above them, are both present. The original, 24-page instruction booklet is No. M3817, copyright 1957. I have not checked each piece of track, but they are all Atlas and the early style, without the gaps for the rail joiners. The uncoupling track is still in its original packaging. The separate rerailer accessory is included but the top of the envelope is a bit torn. The white, cardboard insert in the track accessory box is the original and marked "C-3A810." The plastic window in that box is slightly torn, please see photos. Anyway, these old eyes don't see like they used to, so I ask that you take the time to "ZOOM IN" and look the photos over very closely, to determine for yourself just what we have here. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PHOTOS ARE AN INTEGRAL and a VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THIS LISTING. You NEED to "ZOOM IN" and STUDY the photos very carefully. What you see is what you get. I am selling this Gilbert HO Train Set "as-is, as-found." Please look the photos over VERY carefully and ask any questions you may have, BEFORE you make your purchase. BUYER PAYS $25.00 FOR EXPERT PACKING AND FLAT RATE SHIPPING IN THE LOWER 48 UNITED STATES! *****Please ask about shipments to Alaska & Hawaii***** IMPORTANT! THIS IS HOW I SELL ON EBAY--PLEASE READ:1. Please note that when I offer free or "Flat Rate" shipping, the choice of carriers is MINE, regardless of what is noted in a particular listing.

So, I purchase brand new, 200# test, shipping cartons and I use anti-static, 100% BIODEGRADABLE, environmentally friendly, loose fill packing material--MOST OF THE TIME. I say "most of the time," because I will, on some occasions, ship in previously used cartons and I may reuse other types of packing materials, which best suit the item(s) being shipped. I sometimes use USPS Priority Mail shipping cartons as well. 3. I ship to all countries served by the eBay International Shipping Program. I will NOT ship internationally on my own, sorry.4.
