Electric train set for younger children, with additional freight carriages, tanker and some accessories. The roofs of the carriages lift off to allow figures to be placed inside. The original controller was replaced before purchase to meet Australian safety regulations and functions well both in forward and reverse. The box is a little battered from shifting several times during it's 28 year ownership by our son, but all parts, including a track cleaning kit are included, plus the additional items stated above. This set would benefit from some additional tracks, which from my research, is available.
