This is a high - quality HO scale model train set from Brass Key Imports, built by Samhongsa in Korea. The box has minimal wear and there are no spare parts. Note that the first A - unit has a bent grab and a small paint smudge on the nose, as shown in the photos. There are also some minor finish issues throughout the set. The set features glazing in the windows, lenses in the class lamps, and aftermarket rubber diaphragms that are slightly distorted. These models represent Rio Grande's initial paint scheme for the California Zephyr. Overall, it's still an excellent set.

Using your HO scale Brass Key Imports model train set is easy. First, make sure you have an appropriate analog DC power source. Connect the set to the power source and turn it on to see the A - units' lights shine. The set runs well on a compatible train track, so set up your track according to your preference. When you're done using it, turn off the power and disconnect the set.
There are a few things to keep in mind. Since the first A - unit has a bent grab and a small paint smudge, handle it gently to avoid further damage. Also, the aftermarket rubber diaphragms are slightly distorted, so don't try to force them back into shape.
For maintenance, keep the set in a dry and clean place. The wheels have almost no wear, but you can clean them occasionally with a soft cloth to keep the train running smoothly. The motors are Can Motors, and if you notice any abnormal noise (currently it has light motor/gearbox noise), you may want to check the power connection or consult a professional. When storing the set, use the original box and foam for the best protection.
