This is a 1978 model imported by the Midwest Trolley Museum and built by Kumata in Japan. The original box has only minimal shelf wear. The model is beautifully painted in the North Shore's eye - catching Orange/Maroon color scheme. It comes with working marker lights and has glazing installed, but no spare parts. As an unpowered trailer, it's a faithful reproduction of the prototype. **Details** - **Brand**: Brass MTM - Midwest Trolley Museum - **Part Number**: N/A - **Condition**: C - 7 Excellent - **Wheel Wear**: Minimal - **Noise**: N/A (Unpowered trailer) - **Operation**: N/A (Unpowered trailer) - **Motor**: N/A (Unpowered trailer) - **Underbody Detail**: Basic - **Decorated**: Custom painted in Orange/Maroon #420 - **Control**: N/A (Unpowered trailer) - **Lighting**: Working Marker Lamps - **Couplers/Trucks**: Dummy Couplers - **Packaging**: Original Box and Foam **Shipping** - Free domestic USA shipping for all purchases over $199!

Using this HO scale brass parlor observation trailer is quite straightforward. Since it's an unpowered trailer, you'll need to couple it with a powered locomotive or other powered cars in your train set. Just attach it using the dummy couplers provided. When it comes to handling, be gentle. These models are fragile, especially the brass parts and the glazing. Avoid dropping or bumping it, as this could cause damage. For maintenance, keep it clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away dust. If there's stubborn dirt, you can use a very mild cleaning solution, but make sure to dry it thoroughly afterwards. Also, check the wheel wear periodically. Although the wheel wear is minimal now, over time, you may need to replace the wheels if they show significant signs of wear. And remember, since it has working marker lamps, don't expose it to excessive moisture as this could damage the lighting system.
