Thank you for viewing! (^_^) Thomas the Tank Engine Plarail Hiro It moves when batteries are inserted at the moment, but we cannot address any issues after arrival. Since it's black, minor scratches and other imperfections on the surface are more noticeable than on other colors. I have not disassembled it for cleaning. I am selling duplicates and unwanted items from my collection of Thomas the Tank Engine Plarail toys. This is a used item with some damage, so please only purchase if you are not concerned about the details. m(_ _)m When purchasing, please also read the profile section for information on shipping, etc. Thank you.
