This missile car is in very good condition. As is common, the brake wheels are broken off but there are no other cracks, breaks or rust. The box that originally came with the #6544 was so short that the trucks had to be turned around so that the coupler is underneath the car. This allowed the brake wheels to be right against the end of the box which caused them to break as the point where they are attached is somewhat fragile. Even brand new ones were known to have the brake wheels broken.

It operates fine.
