Runs in both directions (see video) but front and/or rear pony wheels have a tendency to derail on curves so may need some adjustment. Looks in a good condition as if cared for. Please see photos. All couplers and buffers are present. Comes with detailing. Label residue on the box. Plastic sleeve that keeps the polystyrene together is missing at one end. We will reduce postage on multiple purchases so please check out our other listings.
