    Antique Nickel Coin Operated Arcade Train Engine / Tender Display Working Model. Condition is "Used".
    This is a turn of the century 5 cent coin operated train. This machine has a rich provenance documenting the builder and his inspirational notebook that he kept to build the remarkable machine, It is 29 x 17 x 58. There are photos of the machines maker. This train should be in a museum but I was lucky enough to acquire it. This train was original found on the show American Pickers but they were unable to purchase it. The show was called “Whats inside the Vault” and the train was identified toward the end of the show. I acquired it years later and it works great. Because of its size and fragility, buyer must pick this machine up locally or make arrangements to have it shipped professionally. Extremely rare, it has been a part of my collection for many years.
