All parts are new and unused, although they have been handled for sorting and packing.  Many old parts have been in storage for many years and may have aged with time, but are still unused.  Kits are hand assembled, so in rare instances a used part may sneak in, but every attempt is made to ensure the highest quality (except for rare and hard-to-find parts, which may have been used but are in good condition).  All parts come from a smoke-free home.

All kits come complete with color step-by-step instructions with illustrated subassemblies.  To ensure long life, the instructions are printed on premium bright white acid-free paper using color laser printers and come in booklet form.


Each model is available in two editions, an inaugural edition and the standard edition.

The inaugural edition is limited to the first five kits of each model and includes a new, unopened and sealed 5301 gray wagon plate (with 12 holes and not 6 holes as in current production) and unused 4558 era printed doors, windows, and roof bricks.  These old parts have been in storage for a long time and now are coming to light in these special kits.  The balance of common parts are new modern production.  As a added bonus, a random selection of minifigs are included. 

The standard edition uses modern parts, including the wagon plates, doors and other parts from the new 10001 release.

Please note that the diaphragm uses regular bricks rather than the corrugated ones used by the Metroliner.
All kits come complete with the parts to build the main model, an instruction booklet in a sealed box.  Also included is the certificate of authenticity stating the serial number and production run along with the signature of the artist.

World of Bricks is proud to present the Rio Grande Southern Galloping Goose #7. 
Now for the first time, a custom kit models this unique motor equipment for the experienced builder.  This is a realistic and accurately proportioned model for the most discriminating builder and collector.
