The parts vary in design, with some featuring molded detailing such as leaf springs and journal boxes on the side frames. The items are stored in a plain cardboard box and a clear plastic bag. No manufacturer names or branding are visible on the metal surfaces of the components. , The items are in used, salvaged condition for parts or restoration. Significant surface oxidation and rust are visible on the steel axles and stamped frames (photo 1). Accumulated dust, grime, and lubricant residue are present across the majority of the metal surfaces. Several units are incomplete, missing wheels, or have detached and frayed wiring (photo 1, bottom left). Minor pitting is visible on some die-cast surfaces. All electrical and mechanical components are untested and sold in as-found condition (photo 3).
