Description

NEW BRIGHT
1885 STEAM-STYLE LOCOMOTIVE
- Engine #12 -
LOCOMOTIVE ONLY - NO OTHER TRAINS OR ACCESSORIES INCLUDED!
- This listing is for what you see in the photos only -
NOTE: This engine gets its power from a compatible battery operated tender car (
NOT INCLUDED
) - Please see photo of the connector plug (from the tender) that is required to power this engine
TESTING:
We loaded batteries into a test tender (
NOT INCLUDED
).  Then connected the tender into the connector slot in the rear of the engine (see photos).   When we moved the on/off slide switch and the light came on and the wheels moved forward.  We moved the switch the other way and the wheels went in reverse.
NO OTHER TESTING WAS DONE
as we have no track to run it on.
There was no sound, but we are not sure there should be any sound aside from the wheels turning.
I do not know the gauge but the distance between the inside of the wheels is just under 1-1/2" (SEE PHOTOS)

QUALITY PACKING
We
DO NOT
squeeze fragile items in a skin-tight box (believe me, we buy on eBay also and have seen it).  All items are shipped in a box that will allow several inches of packing material between the item and the box to ensure safe delivery.
PLEASE DO NOT COMPLAIN THAT MY SHIPPING IS MORE THAN OTHER SELLERS
.
.. You want cheap packing in a skin-tight box, you always get cheap results!
This train has a maximum length of 14" and width of 4" and a maximum height of 7".  It will
NOT be shipped in a 15" x 8" x 6" box as some will ship it in.   Most who offer so-called "FREE SHIPPING" tend to use the tiniest box and crumpled newspaper to make the shipping cheaper (since they are paying).   Don't believe me?  Just write to the seller before you buy something fragile and ask the size box and packing material he will use.  Many will not reply, some will.  And when the item arrives broken, whose time is wasted?  Yours!
This train will be wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped in a box with styrofoam side supports to prevent the box from being crushed under normal shipping conditions.    The shipping weight will be approx 2 pounds.  Per the USPS anything weighing 1.1 pound to 2.0 pounds costs the same.  Don't believe me, instead of complaining to me... contact the USPS and ask them the cost to ship this box from AZ to you.
Also, be aware that we only use
Brand New/Never Used
boxes and store bought packing materials which cost more than crumpled newspaper and re-using boxes found in the trash!
========================================
SHIPPING OPTIONS:
Priority Mail or FedEx
Our shipping is NOT estimated or top-loaded like "FREE SHIPPING" items.  We charge the EXACT rate as quoted by the USPS or FedEx from our address to your door.
Unlike "Free Shipping" sellers who charge the same whether the buyer is down the street or across the country, when you buy from us, if you live in NY you pay what it costs from AZ to NY (nothing more).  If you live in Colorado, you pay what it costs form AZ to CO (nothing more).
Free shipping sellers must charge the maximum shipping because they do not know if the buyer will be down the street or across the country.  So if you live down the street, you pay the same price as the buyer who lives across the country... and the seller only pays to ship it down the street... pocketing your money!   If that sounds fair to you, then by all means go that route!
I
DO NOT
add a handling fee... I
DO NOT
add a service fee.  What you see is what the USPS or FedEx says the charge is based on the dimensions, weight and distance... nothing more, nothing less.   If you feel honesty is wrong, then feel free to visit another listing.
We are in Arizona so before you complain about the shipping, compare apples to apples.  If you live in New York and there is a seller in Florida, St Louis or Dallas, YES HIS SHIPPING WILL BE LESS THAN FROM ARIZONA!
I have nothing to hide.  Email me anytime!
USPS GROUND / PARCEL SELECT
- Due to the terribly slow delivery time (7-21 business days is not unusual), and the high rate of damaged packages (because most packages sent by this service are not insured, thus treated like garbage by the USPS), I do not ship USPS Retail Ground or Parcel Select unless the buyer requests this service WITH insurance
- AND DON'T BE FOOLED!  This service saves very little over Priority Mail and takes weeks instead of days!
HANDLING TIME
:
This item will be shipped within Two (2) Business Days after receipt of clear payment.  If payment is received on Thursday or Friday - it will be shipped the following week.
========================================
COMBINED SHIPPING:
I am happy to 'combine' shipping when possible.
Please be aware that in this day and age of shipping rates, two or three items
DO NOT
ship for the price of one.  Shipping is based on the box dimensions, weight and distance traveled, so if you increase the box size and weight, you increase the shipping charge!
Please inquire BEFORE purchasing because eBay charges a fee on the shipping charged and once you pay, I cannot refund you because they do not refund me!
========================================
RETURNS
Due to the fragile nature of this item and how it can be easily damaged when dropped, this item is sold as NO RETURNS
All items are shipped with an identifying numbered tamper-proof label.  This is there as proof the item in question is the item we shipped (The label can be easily removed but it cannot be re-applied as it will show "VOID").
If you file an insurance claim, before will we sign off, if the shipper asks us, we must receive from you photos of the damage and the label
IN THE SAME PHOTO.
This item will be shipped fully insured so if it arrives with physical damage not shown in the photos, you should file an insurance claim for the damage with the shipper.  Please retain the box AND all the packing materials as they will require that upon inspection to process the claim.
ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU PURCHASE - BE AN EDUCATED CONSUMER -
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING!
