YOU ARE LOOKING AT A VINTAGE TYCO US1 ELECTRIC TRUCKING SET CALLED US-1 MOTOR CITY (3209). THIS SET IS IN GREAT CONDITION. THE TURNOUT TRACKS AND THE CURVES WILL NEED TO BE CLEANED. I CLEANED THE STRAIGHTS AND THE TERMINAL W/CONTROLLERS SO I COULD TEST IT. I ALSO CLEANED 2 OF THE CURVES WHICH YOU MAY BE ABLE TO SEE A SLIGHT COLOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FEW. ONCE I CLEANED THEM THEY GOT THE NICE GREY COLOR BACK WHICH YOU MAY BE ABLE TO TELL COMPARED TO THE ONES THAT WERE NOT CLEANED. I RECOMEND USING A LIGHT SANDPAPER LIKE 120 GRIT FOR THE RAILS. DONT JUST CLEAN THE TOPS BUT THE SIDES OF THE RAILS ALSO FOR BETTER CONNECTION. THEN I USE AN ERASER TYPE TRACK CLEANER FOR THE GREY TRACK AND GOING OVER THE RAILS. THEY SELL THE ERASER TYPE CLEANER FOR A COUPLE OF BUCKS ON EBAY. THE TRUCKS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THEY HAVE BEEN COMPLETLY DISASEMBLED AND ALL AXLES, GEARS, ECT....HAVE BEEN CLEANED TO NEW CONDITION. ALL OF THE HAIR AND LINT BUILD UP OVER THE YEARS HAVE BEEN COMPLETLY REMOVED. A DROP OF OIL WAS ADDED TO THE GEARS. THE CONTACT SHOES WERE REMOVED AND CLEANED ON BOTH SIDES AND NOW LOOK LIKE A NEW COPPER PENNY. BOTH TRUCKS HAVE VERY MINIMAL CHROME LOSS. THERE MAY BE A REFLECTION ON THE FRONT GRILL FROM THE TRACKS BUT THE GRILLS ARE FINE AND ITS JUST THE LINE IN THE TRACK REFLECTING ON THE GRILL. THEY BOTH HAVE THEIR SMOKE STACKS INTACKED AND BOTH GUIDE PINS. THEY RUN EXCELLENT. THERE ARE SOME DEAD SPOTS ON THE TRACK SO DONT FORGET TO CLEAN IT. NOT A SINGLE PIECE OF TRACK HAS ANY BROKEN LOCKING CLIPS OR END TABS. THIS SET IS 1OO% COMPLETE INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL BOX IN GOOD CONDITION, ORIGINAL LAYOUT INSTRUCTIONS, EACH SETUP INSTRUCTION FOR THE ACCESSORIES AND SOME EXTRA PAPER WORK. THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF WHAT IS INCLUDED: (6) 9" RADIUS CURVES (1/4 CIRCLE) (1) 15" STRAIGHT (1) 9" TERMINAL W/CONTROLLERS (1) 6" STRAIGHT (4) 9" STRAIGHT W/TURNOUTS (1) DUMP TRUCK (1) TRUCK CAB (1) AUTO TRAILER W/4 CARS (1) AUTO LOADER (1) AUTO UNLOADER W/PARKING LOT (1) PIPE LOADER W/5 PIPES (1) DUMP YARD (3) HIGHWAY SIGNS W/CORESPONDING STICKERS (1) WALL POWER PACK A BUNCH OF JUNK YARD TIRES, ORIGINAL BOX, ORIGINAL LAYOUT INSTRUCTIONS W/INVENTORY SHEET, INSTRUCTIONS FOR EACH ACCESSORRY AND EXTRA ADVERTISING SHEETS....................I ONLY SHIP WITHIN THE U.S...............S/H IS $12.................ITEM WILL BE PACKED WITH CARE.............I ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL AND NO E-CHECKS..................I WILL SHIP AS SOON AS PAYMENT IS MADE..............ITEM IS ABOUT 30 YEARS OLD AND IS BEING SOLD AS IS BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I WILL TRY TO HELP YOU OUT..................THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR!
