Order arrived on day notified, well packed which was fortunate because it had been struck by the corner of another package or machinery which had pierced the container but not damaged the goods inside. However, the packers need to add the filler around all sides of the contents. Mine had crumpled brown thick paper around threes side only. Had it been struck on the opposite side . . ?
The wagons themselves are works of art - nothing less. Fit and finish is very good. Care needs to be taken when handling as there are many little fitted parts waiting to be dislodged. Have not put them on the tracks yet, but I do not expect any problems with ride quality. I am very happy with my purchase, and they are good value for what you receive and look the part.
