This is a 1990s Van Hobbies imported model built by Samhongsa in Korea. The box shows almost no shelf wear and comes with spare parts. It's a truly unusual model as there's no record of the unpainted version, which might make it a very rare item! Branded as Brass VH - Van Hobbies, it's in C-8 like-new condition. The wheel wear is minimal, and the motor/gearbox noise is just 2 out of 10. It runs very smoothly with a can motor. Inside the all-weather cab, there's great detail. It's unpainted with almost no tarnish, controlled by analog - DC only, and has a working headlight. There are no couplers on the tender, but a cast coupler on the locomotive pilot. It comes in the original box and foam. Free domestic USA shipping for all purchases over $199! Flat shipping rates are based on item value or weight, and all items are fully insured.
