lithographed tin passenger car, in great emerald green enamel paint with yellow window trim, faux stained glass windows, white passenger car sidewall typography and clear polymer sheet windows. The undercarriage also appears to be complete, with both wheel assemblies intact and not missing axles or wheels. All four passenger car step boxes are also intact and present, as well as the two round cylindrical tanks found running underneath the sides of both sides of the passenger car. There are some minor to moderate episodes of oxidation, mostly found on the seams and corners of the car. The rusting isn't fatal and doesn't doom the car or render it unsightly. It's endemic to lithographed enamel tin that was even briefly exposed to moisture. The rear reticulated brass terrace railing is also slightly tarnished but without dings or dents as is the model train passenger car itself. In fairly well preserved overall vintage condition. Wide gauge, large sized. A terrific
