This is truly the finest HO scale brass model to date! Skillfully scratch - built by Joe G. Collias, it precisely meets the specifications of the Missouri Pacific No. 6615 4 - 6 - 2 steam locomotive. The Akane box, lacking the foam, shows some shelf wear like torn corners and scuffs. There are no spare parts included. The chassis, originally from a Japanese 4 - 6 - 2, has been modified. The boiler and cab, of unknown origin, have been heavily modified and detailed. The tender seems mostly scratch - built and might have some origins from other imported MP models. It features an oil bunker and a 'doghouse'. Every part is detailed with road - number - specific safety appliances and options. It was recently serviced with the old gearbox grease cleaned out and replaced, and a new drive tube installed. The paint job is outstanding. Both the locomotive and tender are solidly assembled. This model is a must - have for any steam - era Mopac modeler's collection. Brand: Scratch Built by Joe G. Collias. Part Number: N/A. Condition: C - 7 Excellent.

For maintenance, from time to time, you can clean the wheels with a soft, dry cloth to keep them in good condition. Every once in a while, like it was recently serviced, you may need to clean out the old grease in the gearbox and replace it. Also, check the drive tube to make sure it's in good shape.
