Fatman, yup it's a little bent up and not really scratch free...I must admit I've never understood how those parent back when could just stand there and let their kids play with the trains! I mean, really, talk about short sighted and not thinking about us collectors/operators 70+ years hence and how we might feel about it!
Nice diamond in the rough you've got there. I'm sure with a little TLC it will look and run just fine.
