This 1995 run PFM model was built by Tenshodo in Japan. The box has minimal shelf wear. It comes with replacement custom - cut ReBoxx foam inserts, each worth $50. The model is factory - painted with very little decal film. All wooden presentation boxes, display tracks, and acrylic backings are included. There's no foam damage to the wooden box or the model, a rare find in this condition. All spare parts are also in the package. The model has cab glazing and PFM Sound installed from the factory (though untested). An extra plug is added at the back of the cab for the sound system. There's some paint wear on the back of the cab wall and deck plate due to use, and one small solder joint on the tender piping is broken. This model is from the collection of the late Jim Walsh, who got the Z - 6 from the Tenshodo Model Shop in Japan through PFM owner Don Drew. Paperwork and notes for provenance are included.

Using this HO scale brass model train is quite straightforward. First, make sure it's connected to an appropriate analog - DC power source. You can control its movement using your DC controller. Since it has PFM Sound installed, though untested, you can try to activate it through the extra plug at the back of the cab. When it comes to handling, be gentle as it's a delicate and hard - to - find model. Avoid dropping it or applying excessive force. For maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. You can use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. If you notice any loose parts or if the solder joint on the tender piping gets worse, it's best to consult a professional model train repairer. Also, when you're not using it, store it in the provided original box with the ReBoxx foam insert to protect it from damage. And remember, this model doesn't qualify for free domestic shipping due to its size and weight, so plan your purchase and shipping accordingly.
