Thank you for viewing! (^_^) Thomas the Tank Engine Plarail Black James Currently, it moves when batteries are inserted, but we cannot guarantee functionality after arrival. Because it is black, minor scratches and other imperfections on the surface are more noticeable than on other colors. We have not disassembled and wiped it down. 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 of the condition m(_ _)m When purchasing, please also read the profile section for information on shipping, etc. Thank you very much!
