This item is an S-gauge American Flyer model train item as follows: 940 WABASH Hopper Car with Gravel LoadThis is my item # 85. It is made of plastic on top with a plastic undercarriage. It weighs 4.8 ounces. The trucks are the thick metal type. The couplers are the original knuckle type, and they work. It was made during this time period: 1953-1956 I would rate this car to be very good plus plus. are the “problems” (chips, scratches, rubs, etc.) that I see with this item: In the picture you can see a chip of paint missing under the "S" and a 1/4 inch scratch over the left-most wheel. I just used a light touch with a permanent magic marker and now you cannot see these defects! Now the black finish looks perfect until you get 6 inches away, and then you can see some light "rubs" on the finish and t The gravel load was coming loose in the photo, but I snapped it back in place. The ends look perfect, and t are no cracks, chips or missing parts anyw This item is RETURNABLE for a refund under the following conditions: You pay the return postage. If the item is received in the SAME condition as it was sent to you, I will refund your payment for this item (minus the money you paid me to ship the item to you).
