HO Scale Rivarossi / AHM V&TRR Oldtime Coach Car #38 in Box

Description: HO Scale Rivarossi / AHM V&TRR Oldtime Coach Car #38 in Box - Excellent #2 Two years ago, my father passed and I received the remnants of his HO Scale train collection, consisting of a diesel locomotive, several switchers, a beat-up steam locomotive and a collection of track and some freight cars. From that collection I found one locomotive, a Virginia & Truckee Railroad Genoa 4-4-0 which required repairs and restoration, and it showed me that these trains can be repaired, refurbished, and restored to operational condition for many more years of enjoyment by model railroad enthusiasts...without having to pay hundreds of dollars for the newer models. Since then, I have searched for damaged, non-functional steam locomotives of the 2-4-0 and 4-4-0 configurations to repair and restore. In this way, I honor my father and attempt to pass on his love for model railroading to others who search for these vintage locomotives. As I acquired locomotives to repair, there were times when I had the chance to acquire some of the freight and passenger cars that went with that particular railroad line. Virginia & Truckee was the first of the rail lines I focused on and, as a result, I acquired a number of them. Some actually DID need some restoration work, mainly to replace damaged and missing trucks and axles or couplers. Sometimes there would be dirt or dust to clean off, but mostly the cars were in great condition. However, as I began to amass a collection of trains and freight cars, I found I had more than I needed, so now is the time to offer some of these hard-to-find cars to other model railroad enthusiasts who want to add to their collections! So what are you getting?You're receiving one (1) Oldtime Coach Car #38 for the Virginia & Truckee Railroad line (V&TRR) in the original box. The car is in excellent condition, cleaned and confirmed ready to hit the tracks as a part of your old-time steam locomotive line. It comes in the original box, which is also in excellent condition. The front clear plastic facing showing the car in the box is fully intact and the box is still intact, although it has some wear. The plastic cradle holding the car is intact and holds the car in place to keep it from bouncing around. The Coach car is completely intact, clean and functions with hook and horn couplers on either end of the car. Whether it is a JW Bowker, Genoa, Reno, Inyo or other American standard steam locomotive for the Virginia & Truckee line, with this passenger car, you'll be on your way to a set that can be added to a steam locomotive and pulled down the tracks to display your love of vintage locomotives! These passenger and freight cars are hard to come by. Most of them were created by Rivarossi of Italy back in the 1970's and are incredibly hard to find fully intact. Usually offered under the AHM brand, vintage cars like this are a great addition to a collection. After all, over time plastic breaks and once damaged, they usually become discarded. I've amassed a number of them in excellent condition! Shipping will be via US Ground Advantage to keep costs down. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I have additional passenger & freight cars that I'll be offering for model railroad enthusiasts wanting to fill out their collection so stay tuned...you might see it listed soon!
