Made in the USA with very heavy durable plastics suitable for outdoor use.The car is ready to run with hook/hoop couplers, plastic trucks and wheels with metal axles.Roof removes easily to add interior details and lights. Age, health, and space tell me it is time to downsize my gigantic train collection, I am not a business, I do not accept returns unless of course I sent you someone else\'s winnings. Save me as a seller as I will be selling my trains in every scale from Z to 1.5\" scale. Also will be selling a very large magazine and book library. Thank you for looking at my listings.
