Phoebe Snow Model Train from Millburn Train CenterEntry/Object ID
2011.071.001ADescription
Phoebe Snow model/miniature train by K-Line Electric Trains, for the Millburn Train Center. The white train car has a gold-colored sliding side door and is marked: "Millburn Train Center," "On The Route of Phoebe Snow," "New 9-94," "When Empty Return to MIllburn NJ" and "K-Line Super Store" "#3." The train appears to be undamaged and intact. A message on an accompanying Post-It note may have been copied from the eBay auction description: "K-LIne (Last name Kline) was a competitor to Lionel. If a train store stocked his stuff and became a "superstore," he would make a special train for them, with their name on it."
The (original) box is clean, but has 1"-2" creases, primarily along the edges. The cellophane in the window on the front of the box has numerous pinpoint punctures--or near-punctures--and rippling around the edges.
