Train Set by Playmobil (Set #4000)

Description: Listing is for gently used, out of production, “G” gauge railroad set by Playmobil from the 1980’s. Item # was 4000. The plastic set includes:A small locomotive A 1st Class (non-smoking) passenger car A 2nd class (non-smoking) passenger car 3 figures (approximately 2¾” tall) Baggage cart with luggageTrack Track to transformer connector The figures include a railroad conductor and engineer. A female passenger figure is also included. Other accessories include numerous tools and luggage. The locomotive is powered (maximum of 16v DC). It was tested and ran well in both directions. The headlight on the engine illuminates when power is applied to the track regardless of direction. The door to the coal bunker at the back of the cab can be raised and the roof is removable so the crew can be accessed. The sides, front and back are annotated with the engine number 99501 and a “DB” (Deutsche Bahn) sticker is also on the sides (but could be removed). It does NOT smoke. The roofs on the passenger cars are also removable to allow access. They, too, have the “DB” sticker on the sides but, again, could be easily removed. Track sufficient to build a 48” oval is included. Although in a Playmobil box as item #4354, the track is actually by LGB (item #1100). Pieces are held together with small plastic connectors included in the set (LGB item #1150). The track to transformer connector is Playmobil item #4535. Although no 120v transformer is included one is being sold separately. Regretfully, there is no room in the box so if purchased separately, it will have to be shipped by itself. It has only been played with inside a smoke free house so it is in very good shape with no broken pieces and (to the best of my knowledge and comparing it to the box top), nothing is missing. The set comes in its original packaging with a Styrofoam insert/box. The cardboard top is in poor shape with numerous tears and tape residue. (Unfortunately, when it was shipped by the Army from Germany in the 1980’s, the packers simply wrapped packing tape directly around it instead of putting it in another box or wrapping it in packing paper.) The Styrofoam box is intact but is cracked on one corner. Set is compatible with other Playmobil kits or G‑gauge model trains. Item described as well as possible, but is sold "as is" so please contact me if you have any questions. Warning: contains numerous small parts that pose a choking potential for small children. Recommended age is 4 and up. Normally, I can combine items to reduce shipping. However, given the size and weight of this item, combining it with other items I am selling is not possible. Unless other arrangements are made, payment is to be made within two days after purchase or invoice is sent.
