This is unit is still in its original box in the plastic with manual. It appears to have never been used but taken out of the box a few times. The box has signs of wear on the corners, edges flaps, and in various locations. It is in over all good condition. I took photos of many of the areas where there was wear on the box but could not take everyone but there is enough to give you good idea of the condition of the box.
The staples on the manual have rust on them. See all the photos for more details. This unit was tested this week by a local train shop and found to be in working order. I have added a video of it running. It is very hard to see the smoke coming out in the video but the smoke was working along with all the other features.
The Lionel 6-18082 O Gauge New York Central RR 4-6-4 Hudson Steam Locomotive Tender is a black AC-powered replica of the Hudson steam locomotive in a 1:48 scale. It features a 4-6-4 wheel configuration and is designed to mimic the New York Central corporate road name. This model includes light and sound functions, as well as a tender for enhanced realism in model railroading.
