UNFIRED But Oily 1980s Mamod Live Steam Wagon Truck SW1 Toys Gift Boys Men 009

Description: LIVING ESTATE SALE (Details at the end of description) MA/AI For your consideration is a Mamod Live Steam Wagon/Truck SW1 made in England in the 1980s. This item was still in production with very few changes in 50 years. Here is the link : https://www.mamod.co.uk/shop-categories/1318-blue-steam-wagonAt the price of £422 and with the current rate of change, the price was around $530.Unfortunately, Mamod has closed doors as of August 2024, so a new one from the factory is no longer an option. Someone might still have a new one somewhere... This truck is in excellent and UNFIRED condition.An oily substance has been sprayed all over that needs to be cleaned up.It is an easy but time consuming task, but it will be very rewarding.Consequently (duh), there is hardly any rust and only very few dents. It has been air tested (video) and will operate on steam.It is complete, except for the original box that is missing.It is all original. You will need some solid fuel pellets (anywhere camping supplies are sold) and distilled water is very strongly recommended. Please select the shipping system that suits you best. Condition : This Live Steam Truck / Wagon has never been fired. Main thing to report : it has been sprayed with oil and needs cleaning. It is in excellent and unfired condition. It has been air tested (video) and will operate on steam. It is complete, except for the original box that is missing. Very few scratches and hardly any rust (of course). It is all original. I would rate it a solid C7 (degraded due to the oily film). VERY IMPORTANT : I am offering four UPS shipping options. You can check the cost by clicking next to shipping on "See Details" or make your choice at take-out. The default is UPS Ground as Expedited Shipping can be expensive and is not necessarily more reliable. Please keep in mind that I do not control the cost of shipping that is calculated by eBay.Free pick-up is always available (Rock Hill, SC). After having several issues with USPS, I am not offering their service any longer, but, if you insist, I will ship USPS. Just know that the reliability for the arrival at destination in a timely fashion has been very poor as of late. LESS IMPORTANT : Items are packed and ready for shipping when I make the listing. Combined shipping cannot be done if one item is larger than 8 x 8 x 8 packed. If it is possible, smaller items can be combined upon request prior to the payment. Guarantee : Item is guaranteed to be as described. I am a very honest seller hoping to deal with honest buyers. If I know something is wrong, I will disclose it but I certainly can make an honest mistake and will do my very best to correct it. Warning : Many of these older collectibles are not in compliance with today's safety standards. It is the responsibility of the buyer to determine whether or not they are still suitable for their intended purpose. Adult supervision is indispensable with any steam engine. Packaging :Items are packed carefully and should remain undamaged through a standard level of care during handling. LIVING ESTATE SALE DETAILS :I had my first steam engine when I was 9 years old. That was 65 years ago. I have been collecting them for 25 years and I am now 74. None of my descendants is interested in the collection, so I decided that it was time to liquidate. As of December 2024, I still have over 1,300 engines of all kinds to list. I believe in full disclosure. It takes me about an hour to list one item, between the assessment, the testing, the video, the photos, the description and the very careful packaging. I try to have very reasonable prices. At comparable quality, my prices are probably the lowest on the market.
