IMPORTANT:  Please read the payment and shipping procedure. Viewer questions, my responses and added pics appear towards the end of the listing.

The man from whom I bought this truck was very proud of the way he and his brother had taken care of it.  They were not from a wealthy family and shared this special purchase with pride.  The box (parts) is a separate listing.  If you win the truck & the box the ship charge will be the same as for the truck only.

I washed the dust off, but did not try to make it look better.  Red paint condition is about as nice as any I've ever owned.  There are some scratches on the side compartment doors, one of which is also a little loose, but not damaged or broken.   You can see a little corrosion on the front grille & bumper.  This can be treated to improve the appearance.

Decals are excellent.  All small parts (extinguishers/horn...) are secure.  Both original hoses are missing ends.  Long hose has the metal end and seems supple.

Fireplug hose coupling has the crank! 

Ship Charges

Yes I combine orders.  My goal is to make the ship charge equal to the USPS cost + insurance cost + $2 to $5 (depending on size) for a new box .    USPS rates go up as weight and size increases; and they vary greatly with distance in USA and between countries. 

Canada is generally close to the USA cost...I'll try to adjust the invoice before you process payment.

USA

Price quoted is for USPS Priority Mail, including insurance for items selling for more than $35.   Parcel Post costs less, but is very slow.  I'll try to ship as requested by the buyer.  

Shipping outside USA

The quoted "fixed" ship charge for International shipments is an ESTIMATE.  New USPS rates are VERY expensive, and increasing again in May.  I'll send a refund, based on the formula above, if I overestimate.  In general anything over 4 pounds must go Priority (more expensive).

The estimated  INTERNATIONAL ship charge is based on air mail, no insurance & not traceable (2 recent shipments to Europe virtually disappeared).   I recommend EMS or Registered mail for packages of significant value because they can be insured and get special handling.  You may review the various shipping options at USPS.com.

The CUSTOMS form will be marked "merchandise"  No invoice will be put in the package. 



Please don't bid if you can't pay in 8 days or less.The USA ship charge includes insurance on items selling for more than $35.

ElysToys
I became a Lionel user in 1945 when my dad bought our first set. Later, in the 1970's, in Illinois, I bought some Lionel for my own family. Soon I became a wheeler-dealer and a serious collector of pre-war trains. I had to sell my own collection when I retired, so now I primarily buy and sell toys and trains. Frequently I represent other folks (as an eBay Trading Assistant) by selling their stuff. This pic was taken on a visit to ancient mud caves in the desert on the San Diego County and Imperial County line.

ElysToys business plan adhers to the Golden Rule. We do our best to satisfy each and every customer. We attempt accurate descriptions, lotsa pics, prompt email response, careful packing and super prompt shipment. Should you believe that the item was incorrectly described please advise and I'll offer either an adjustment or a full refund. Many items ship with full USPS insurance. Unfortunately, In most cases shipment damage or loss becomes a burden for the buyer. USPS will probably retain the shipment if they give a full refund. USPS does not allow insurance for the postage. I wait to leave feedback until the buyer has either corresponded or left feedback because we need to know that the entire transaction has been successful.
 
Money Order/Cashiers Checks: US Postal Money orders are the least expensive way to mail payment. Cashier's checks are fine with me. Please make them payable to David Ely.
