| Please note there is NO SET BOX nor Frontier Cabin or box; we pictured one for your information onlyYou may decide we were too conservative and regrade this set as Mint (C10) Portions of the drive wheels on the loco show signs of running while some portions show no sign of runningThe tender, blue passenger car and horse car DEFINATELY WERE NEVER RUN (I.E. ARE MINT), The 1866 baggage wheels show signs of running, so we decided to conservatively grade the set as Like New (C8)There are no marks, blemishes or excuses!We have included instructions for a 1862 General loco which is mechanically identical to the 1882 loco in this set We have repeated (below) our entire generic description of this rare set for your convenience - the referenced book (below) indicates this set has sold for more than $7000 in 1999GENERIC DESCRIPTION: This is set number X-507NA from Gifts Galore sold as a drug store giveaway, Druggists' Service Council, Inc.
