The track shown in the pictures are the exact pieces you'll receive and each section is also original postwar Lionel with all 3 connector pegs; though still used with some tarnish and a few small spots of rust here and there. There are no original boxes included with the set. The engine is a heavy #6250 with die-cast frame, front and rear lights, a 3-position directional setting (F-N-R), magnetraction and working electric coil couplers (though no uncoupling track is included here). The Seaboard decals on the sides are partly worn but still quite readable while the cab graphics and overall colors are strong with some wear on the blue cab roof.
Cars include the #6456-25 gray hopper with the red lettering, #6511 red-painted pipe car with metal stakes and plastic pipes, #6419-25 work caboose and the #6460-25 crane car with red-painted cab that was actually unique to this set. All cars have bar-end metal trucks with working couplers, and a few of the knuckle springs don't pop open anymore when released yet all stay closed fine for running the train. Overall everything is in very good shape and I think the only replacement or incorrect parts are that the 5 gray plastic pipes are replacements (being thicker than originals) and I think the 4 slotted-head deck screws on the engine should technically have phillips heads this year. Otherwise, the delicate plastic radio antenna on the engine is still there, the smokestack on the caboose isn't cracked or broken and the crane is intact and the assembly works as it should too. I see no cracks, chips or glued-together pieces.Still a very attractive and colorful set that's both nice enough to be collectable as well as ready to plug in and run! P ictures always say it best and are an important part of the description too, so p. As I consider that included with the price.
