This is a 1968 Balboa imported model built in Japan. The box has only minimal shelf wear and comes with no spare parts. The original foam has been replaced with a hand - cut insert. It was recently serviced, with a new drive tube installed and the gearbox thoroughly cleaned. The custom paint job is excellent, with window glazing and detailed accents.

Using this locomotive is easy. Just connect it to your analog DC power source, and it's ready to run on your track. The front headlight will automatically light up when the locomotive is powered on. When handling the locomotive, be gentle as it's a delicate and hard - to - find model. Avoid dropping or hitting it. Also, since it's custom - painted, try not to scratch the surface. For maintenance, it's a good idea to clean the wheels regularly to keep the locomotive running smoothly. You can use a soft cloth to wipe the wheels. Every once in a while, like the recent service it had, you may need to have the gearbox cleaned out. And if you notice any issues with the drive tube or other parts, it's best to get it checked and serviced by a professional. Remember, the locomotive is packed carefully, but once you open it, store it in a safe place to prevent any damage.
