I was given this box on Friday. It came with a bonus, as well. The loco is perfect except for a broken front coupler. Someone wants $2.00 for the box on EBay! Evan

A lot of Revell's box art is very nice, I could totally see people collecting them for it. I bought a Revell sand and gravel co. set for $10 a few years ago (basically a long track ramp leading to a dump pit for the included automatic hopper car), in the original box--I had to throw out the bottom because of mold, so now that I'm stuck with just the lid, I'm gluing wood blocks in the corners and hanging it on my wall!

Yeah, I just got that kit myself a few months ago for about the same price. The box art is nice, and you don't see much Revell stuff these days. I'd hang it up myself. :)

I have a couple of Revell related items. The box arts on all of them are actually very well done and very eye-catching.
