UNFIRED ! 1980s Mamod Williams Live Steam Train Set

Description: LIVING ESTATE SALE (Details at the end of description) For your consideration is a Mamod Williams Live Steam Train Set made in England in the 1980s. This Mamod Train Set has not been fired.It has been air tested (video) and should not give much trouble to operate on steam.It is 100% complete (*), including the original box that is fatigued.(*) Except for the consumables).It is 100% original. It could not qualify for a "New Old Stock" description as the top of the box is not in good condition (photos). The styrofoam bottom is good and protects the elements very well but the top had some moisture damage. If you can overlook the box problem, this set is as good as they come. You will need some solid fuel pellets (anywhere camping supplies are sold) and I strongly recommend using solely distilled water. Shipping is probably quite high - that's a big box. Sorry, nothing I can do about it except providing several shipping options for you to choose from. Mamod stopped production in August 2024. The set had been discontinued for a while due to its rising cost but the locomotives were still in production at the time of the closing.https://www.mamod.co.uk/shop-categories/mamod-stirlingIf this set was still in production, it would be north of $1,000. Condition : This train set has never been fired. It has been air tested and should not give much trouble to operate on steam. It is 100% complete (except for the consummables). It is 100% original including the original box that is in a bit fatigued. Everything is in excellent condition : No scratch and no corrosion. I would rate it a solid C8. Please select the shipping system that suits you best. VERY IMPORTANT : I am offering four shipping options. You can check the cost by clicking next to shipping on "See Details" or make your choice at take-out. The default is usually UPS Ground as Expedited Shipping can be expensive and is not necessarily more reliable. Please keep in mind that I do not control the cost of shipping that is calculated by eBay.Free pick-up is always available (Rock Hill, SC). LESS IMPORTANT : Items are packed and ready for shipping when I make the listing. Combined shipping cannot be done if one item is larger than 8 x 8 x 8 packed. If it is possible, smaller items can be combined upon request prior to the payment. Guarantee : Item is guaranteed to be as described. I am a very honest seller hoping to deal with honest buyers. If I know something is wrong, I will disclose it but I certainly can make an honest mistake and will do my very best to correct it. Warning : Many of these older collectibles are not in compliance with today's safety standards. It is the responsibility of the buyer to determine whether or not they are still suitable for their intended purpose. Adult supervision is indispensable with any steam engine. Packaging :Items are packed carefully and should remain undamaged through a standard level of care during handling. LIVING ESTATE SALE DETAILS :I had my first steam engine when I was 9 years old. That was 65 years ago. I have been collecting them for 25 years and I am now 74. None of my descendants is interested in the collection, so I decided that it was time to liquidate. As of October 2024, I still have over 1,300 engines of all kinds to list. I believe in full disclosure. It takes me about an hour to list one item, between the assessment, the testing, the video, the photos, the description and the very careful packaging. I try to have very reasonable prices. At comparable quality, my prices are probably the lowest on the market.MS/AI
