The dishes have been washed with dish soap. The rails do not have cushioning material. Please purchase at the listed price unless you are buying multiple items at the same time. We will refund you when we can save on shipping costs by combining items. If you have any concerns, please send a message before purchasing. I have other items for sale as well. I would be happy if you would stop by. #Bulk #Bundle #Expansion #Set #Layout #Scenery
