is this a base game, or an expansion? Can you play this by itself?

This is the base game and can be played by itself. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/224517/brass-birmingham

How long does this game take to play (2 player)?

First time through expect close to two hours or more but if both players know the rules maybe an hour to hour and a half.

Does this game have a solo mode?

No, but there are unofficial variations that you can find that I have heard work quite well.

All the components inside the box were in perfect condition but the box came with a couple of scratches. I imagine that this was due to the lax packaging but it doesn’t personally both me that much.

Es un juego muy bonito e interesante sobre la revolución industrial en Inglaterra. Ofrece muchas posibilidades al jugador y es muy estratégico. El juego llegó en perfectas condiciones y mucho antes de la fecha de entrega prevista.
