As far as the smoke smell, if you have a laundry tub you could almost soak everything, except the engines, in water and dish liquid soap. If you have a large plastic storage bin you could wash it all outside by filling up the bin with soapy water and rinsing the parts down with a hose. The box may have absorbed the odor too but all you could do with that is spraying a little windex on a soft towel and wipe the outside down making sure you don't get it too wet. Don't spray the windex directly on the card board. Then let it air dry outside or in a garage. Others members may have other suggestions. A search turned up this spray product from Zep that says it " Removes the smell of smoke caused by cigarettes, cigars, and fire " Don't know if it works good or if there other Smoke smell sprays out there. See picture below.
BTW...welcome to BluePlastic Tracks and glad you are back into these trains we love so much.
The box has a few tears in spots, and the only missing pieces are some trees and a couple generic track pieces, but I think if I root around a bit I may be able to find substitutes for the latter pieces. Other than that and the smell, everything seems like it's in pretty good condition. I'll be sure to take some pictures once I've fixed the smell and put everything together. Thank you for the advice and the kind welcome!
