Description: I want to clear some space on my shelves, so I need to part with some of my collection. I still have fond memories of the 4x8 HO train layout I had back in the 70s. I think it was really my dad’s thing, but I liked the remote-controlled switches and the big knob to control the train speed. I am sure it is not sophisticated by today’s standards, but the track was segmented so you could run more than one engine at a time. I spent most of my time building the models for the layout, which is where this kit comes in. Heljan is a Danish company that started back in 1957 making scenic products and kits for model railroads. They have recently focused on rolling stock, so these kits are getting harder to find. This is their classic kit of the multi-story Tucson Silver Mine for a rugged western scene. I only found a few listings for this kit on eBay, but as a Top Rated Plus US Seller, I have this in stock and can reliably ship to you very quickly. Here is some of the info I found from around the web: The Heljan company websites (heljan.dk and heljan.co.uk) do not mention this kit so I assume it is Out Of Production or Discontinued. Other sources point out the following kit highlights: § 1:87 scale§ For ages 12 and up§ 18cm Long, 26cm Wide, 10.5cm High This kit is in a box about 12” x 8” x 1.5” showing a finished model. As you can see from the pictures, the package is pristine and still sealed with the original shrink wrap, so I consider it factory sealed and absolutely gift-ready. This item contains one complete injection molded plastic model kit that is about 7” L x 10.2” W x 4.1” H when completed. It requires cement and paint to complete as shown. I use eBay Managed Payments, but I no longer ship internationally. Auction winner pays winning bid and for a limited time, this item is offered with $6 Flat Rate Shipping in the US! No reserve and a low starting bid. Check out my other great auctions and listings for combined shipping. Good luck! Those familiar with my listings can tell that I really enjoy these products and the modeling hobby. I like to provide more than just the bare facts about the items, trying to lead you into discovering more about the subjects and optimizing your builds (if that is your goal). I started out picking up models that I was interested in, with the eye toward building them when I had time. Always a bargain-hunter, I accumulated many more than I can build, so I found myself in a Collector status (sounds nicer than a hoarder). As I am sure you have noticed, my items are almost always sealed and in mint condition (I call them Gift-Ready), since I only open them when I am ready to build them. Now I enjoy making these products available to my fellow modelers; both Builders and Collectors. For the Builders, there are probably better (at least cheaper) ways to add to your project lists than buying from me, but you know you are getting top quality. For Collectors, my goal is to save you a few bucks over the competition for the same item in factory sealed and collectible (or resellable) condition.
