ITEM DESCRIPTION:

RADICON HIKARI MONORAIL TOY TRAIN BATTERY OPERATED IN BOX JAPAN WORKS 19 N MINT. 1950's or early 60's. Here is a very rare Radicon Hikari tin litho remote toy train in the box sleeve. Made by Modern Toys, Japan, with Japanese writing, made for the Japanese market. Has very light wear and some spidering in the paint from age. No dents or dings. Has original remote and both antennas. Nice tin litho on monorail. It works, it takes 3 D cell and 2 -9volt batteries. Train responds when the remote button is pushed, goes right, left, stops and backwards. The light in the front works and is bright. The red light on the top works as well, seems when the button is pressed the red light blinks indicating a changed movement. Monorail is marked B-1001 and comes with Styrofoam inserts which are nice and not broken up. Box sleeve is almost 2 feet long and does have some wear and some tears. I had two of these that were exactly the same, I consigned one last year to Morphy's auction house in PA and it sold for $425.00 then you add 28% buyers premium, tax and a potential shipping charge and you are well over $500.00. This is not an easy toy to find especially in this condition. It was not made for the US market. Please check out my other toys. Please ask any question that you may have. Thank you, Dave .....
