Looks like it just came from the factory, though these railroad rolling stock kits have been out of production for almost ten years. Beautifully painted and lettered car body that requires only simple assembly to produce a much more detailed model than the usual ready-to-roll cars being produced now. Not a toy, but a fun model that looks very realistic.Of course customization is easier with a kit, and I intend to install realistic looking couplers instead of the old-style horn couplers used on older rolling stock. I also have the opportunity to "weather" the car, though I hesitate to mess up the wonderful paint job and logos it has. I think I'll keep it bright and new and imagine the dirt and grime from years of use ;-)
