Nearly perfect with one small, horizontal chip at base of smoke stack on locomotive. Some surface scuffs on ceramic, possibly from pieces rubbing together. 3 of the 4 corks have broken in half - to be expected for age of this set. 2 of the broken corks are still stuck in openings, but could probably be removed. Mail car cork is still intact. Lid on locomotive does not sit level due to angle of break in the cork - this can probably be aesthetically corrected using a pin between the cork halves, or another creative solution. All pieces could be gently cleaned with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust. Condition is consistent with age and history. less
