This 2013 W&R Enterprises model was expertly crafted by Boo-Rim Precision Co., Inc. in Korea. The box shows hardly any shelf wear. It comes with spare parts and diaphragms (diaphragms not installed), and glazing is already in place. It represents car numbers 1650 - 1655 but is factory - painted for car number 1651. These were once heavyweight Pullman sleepers, rebuilt into baggage cars from 1948 - 1950 and then converted to water baggage cars from 1950 - 1958. Their main job was to supply water to steam locomotives, letting them travel longer without stopping for water. The NP, especially on the North Coast Limited, used these cars in water - scarce areas like eastern Montana and western North Dakota. This is a great and hard - to - find model.

Using this Northern Pacific water baggage car model is easy. You can simply place it on your model train track and let it be part of your train set. Since it doesn't have couplers installed, you'll need to install them if you want to connect it to other cars. When handling the model, be gentle as it's a fragile brass item. Avoid dropping it or applying too much pressure. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to dust it off regularly. If it gets dirty, you can use a mild cleaner on a cloth and gently wipe it. But make sure to dry it thoroughly to prevent any damage. Store it in the original box and foam when not in use to keep it safe and in good condition. Also, be aware that if you're shipping it back for a return, you'll be responsible for the shipping costs unless it arrives damaged.
