Photos listed with each item have been reviewed for accuracy, but are not guaranteed to be correct, the description will hold to being accurate.

It must be understood that we cannot be responsible for minor age defects or hidden conditions. They will be sold in an "as is" condition.

It should be assumed that none of the toys or trains are in working condition unless noted mint in working order in the description. All gram weights and measurements should be used as a guide and are not guaranteed to be 100% accurate. All furniture is in used condition and may have minor defects not disclosed in the description.
