Both items are in poor condition, exhibiting significant and extensive surface oxidation, heavy rust, and paint loss across all surfaces. The tin surfaces show pitting and corrosion throughout. The mechanical state of the locomotive is untested but likely non-functional due to visible rust on the gears and internal components. No original packaging is included.
