Lionel 7-12127 - Battery Operated "North Pole Express" Train Set

Individually boxed is how the item originally arrives as. It's original shipping carton.

For example:

All Lionel engines come individually boxed. So they are good to be shipped out right as they come in.

Most MTH engines come boxed in cases of 3 or 2. In rare occasions they are individually boxes. Which means that this engines individually boxes are good to ship as they are, while those coming in cases of 2 or 3 will need to be re-boxed or can have other items shipped in the original shipping carton.

Most rolling stock come in quantities of 2, 4, or 6. This can be re-boxed if the quantities ordered doesn't match the original shipping carton. 

Why this information, we have had a lot of contacts asking if the item is individually boxed, or others asking if they can have the original shipping carton. In most cases, ordering the case amount will get you the carton.
