These models will come in a custom Model Box case with a depiction of the Westlander on the lid and room to spare for your locomotive.
While all efforts will be made to ensure all models are built to the same standard these are a handmade model so there may be slight variations or inconsistences between models. Before any set is delivered all rolling stock in the set will be carefully evaluated to ensure that decals line up and all coupler heights are correct.
