Bought this from another OGR member, I *think* for the same 100$.
Last time I checked the unit worked with your typical forward-neutral-reverse. Had a problem with stalling over K-Line O72 switches if running too slow, no problems on a simple loop.
If you look hard enough you will find small paint chips. The main body is some non-brass cast metal, the reversing unit inside the body. I thought about converting to TMCC but I had a concern about how to deal with the antenna.
Missing from the pictures is the original box and a small bag of screws of which I am not 100% sure came with it, but you are getting them none the less.
Shipping would be from zip code 60068, and I can do UPS, USPS, or Fedex (ground I assume), they are all within a mile of my house.
Contact me thru the forum email.
(Edit, the motor is NOT in the trucks).
