Front of engine has three .5" areas of paint loss, additional small trace of paint wear on back edge. Coal car has composition figure of Mickey from the waist up and he holds a shovel.

The 3 train cars each have a different title and these are "Mickey Mouse Circus/Mickey Mouse Band/Circus Dining Car."
