A truly one - of - a - kind HO brass model, perfect for any Missouri Pacific modeler's collection. Expertly scratch - built by Joe G. Collias to Missouri Pacific 5300 class 4 - 8 - 2 specs.

Using this model is quite straightforward. Just connect it to an analog DC power source, and it will start running well. When handling it, be gentle as it's a delicate brass model. Avoid dropping or bumping it to prevent any damage. Since the model has some tarnish and no clear coat on the raw brass, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently dust it from time to time. Don't use any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may scratch the brass. When storing the model, keep it in the provided Reboxx box and foam to protect it. If you need to clean the wheels, use a very light lubricant to ensure smooth operation. And remember, if you have any questions or encounter any issues, feel free to contact us.
