Even if noted as running well, it is always advisable to do a proper clean and lube before extensive running as dust, old lube, aged rubber, etc all need attention. Specific comments for this item follow below. Tested and running good, but the motor is really noisy, when the voltage is increased. This is not a fast loco, and so is meant to be run slowly. Could use an oiling, as I suspect there is none. Does not have split gears etc, as these are metal. You will get what you see, if you don’t see it then it isn’t included. If not sure, please ask me. In particular, if I don’t show or state there is a box, or battery, etc then there isn’t. Please don’t assume there is.

Tested and motor runs slowly, gears all working but hasn’t been used in many years. This has foam on it, from the disintegrated foam packing. This will not run as-is, since it needs a good oiling. This is Hon3 gauge, and so doesn’t run on HO or N.

Tested and running good with direct connection to wheels, as I dont have a track to put this on, but the last wheel set is not connecting properly, and so doesnt turn (3/4 working right) however it will still run as-is, could be an easy fix? This runs on track larger than N gauge, but smaller than HO scale. You will get what you see, if you don’t see it then it isn’t included. If not sure, please ask me. In particular, if I don’t show or state there is a box, or battery, etc then there isn’t. Please don’t assume there is.

HO GAUGE for use on OO / HO Gauge track. This brass locomotive is working, but needs one of the driver links to be screwed back onto the drive mechanism at one end. It is the size of a HOe or Hom locomotive, but designed to run on standard HO track. With a little fine reassembly you will be away. A great item for your collection. See pictures for details. But this depends on box size finally used, item sizes and weight.
