Buffet-Lounge-Solarium-Observation Car James J. The couplers are included in a sealed bag, but have not been attached as the black metal protectors at the end of each car/coach are still in place. I tested the 8 cars on a 4.5m straight section of Peco HO/OO track being pushed by a loco (not included in sale). The video shows the James J Hill car being pushed showing the illuminated front lamp and illuminated carriage. As far as I can judge, I believe that these cars/coaches had not been run as the protective metal end caps are still in place by screw. They look to be in near mint condition. The only damage I can see if that one of the banquet seats has been dislodged see picture. Hill car indicated by pointer. I cannot see any other damage, missing components or scratches. These have been very well preserved in original packaging including original tissue. My description of condition is my personal honest view, you should view the pictures which form part of the description to form your view.
