don't over wind the spring they do snap as they get older did you put a drop of thin oil in the workings

Hi If your going to put it on Ebay put a reserve of say £150 on it its in good condition and all there . Take some good photos of each carriage and the train also the track , Don't clean it you will wipe off money just a light oil of the running gear.People who collect these want them original

regards pete
