This 1974 model was expertly built in Japan by Kumata. The box shows some shelf wear, and the original foam has been replaced with bubble wrap. It's an unpainted model with no spare parts. It represents GE's early try at a cowl - body passenger locomotive. The Santa Fe bought these along with FP45s for new passenger power. These engines mainly ran on the Texas Chief route from Kansas City to Chicago. After Amtrak, they were repainted in a Yellow and Blue freight scheme. New NWSL gears have been installed to replace cracked axle gears, so it's ready to roll! Brand: Hallmark Models. Condition: C - 6 Very Good. It has minimal wheel wear and moderate motor/drive noise (7 out of 10). It runs well thanks to the new NWSL gears. It features an Open Frame Motor (OFM), no backhead or interior detail, no lighting, and no couplers. It comes in the original box only. Free domestic USA shipping for purchases over $199!

For maintenance, clean the wheels regularly to keep the movement smooth. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the body and remove any dust. If you notice any unusual noises or issues while it's running, stop it and check the gears and connections. Also, store it in a dry place to prevent tarnish. With proper care, this locomotive will provide you with long - lasting fun.
