This 1960's model train was built and imported by Akane Model Trains from Japan. The box shows moderate shelf wear with torn corners and scuffing, and it comes with some original packing materials but no spare parts. The tender has a factory - installed coal load. It has recently been serviced, with the old gearbox grease cleaned out and replaced, and a new drive tube installed. The twenty P7 models of this type were named after the first twenty US presidents and powered famous B&O passenger trains like the 'Royal Blue'. This is a nice example with minimal wear, unlike many models of this vintage. Brand: Brass - Akane. Part Number: AK - 103. Condition: C - 7 Excellent.

Using this model train is easy. Just connect it to a DC power source using analog control. The operating headlight will turn on when it's running. When you're done, turn off the power to avoid any unnecessary wear on the motor. For maintenance, it's a good idea to clean the wheels regularly to keep the train running smoothly. Since the gearbox has some noise, which is normal for this era, check the gearbox grease every once in a while and replace it if it gets old or dirty. Also, keep an eye on the drive tube and make sure it's in good condition. When handling the train, be gentle, especially around the couplers. The Kadee coupler on the tender can be used to attach other train cars. Store the train in its original box with the packing inserts to protect it from damage. And remember, if you're shipping it, we'll pack it really well, but it's still a fragile item, so handle it with care.
