The original owner who sold it to me, said it had only been used a month and then stored. The cars look good too. I see no breaks, cracks or chips. Cars roll nicely and all wheels and couplers are present and in operating order. When testing, this engine pulled these cars up a steep 4% grade and it reversed nicely. The cars are a Allstate tall back tender, a small Erie flat car used for the crane to overhang, a blue green B&M (Boston & Maine) boxcar, a CB&Q long flat car, a blue triple dome Allstate tank car, a two deck Erie 51100 car carrier, an operating black NYC plastic and cast metal crane and a red Santa Fe work caboose.
