This is a custom scratch-built model by Joe G. Collias. It comes in an old PFM box with the packing replaced by bubble wrap. The box shows some shelf wear and has hand lettering, and the original label is removed. The model features a scratch-built boiler with details matching No. 1113. The oil-fired tender has a scratch-built wrapper with road number - specific details. The tender frame seems from a previous model, but the rest is scratch-built. It was recently serviced with the old gearbox grease cleaned and replaced, and a new drive tube installed. It runs smoothly and quietly with excellent prototypical details. It's truly a one - of - a - kind piece from a great custom builder. Brand: Brass Joe Collias Scratch Built. Part Number: N/A. Condition: C - 7 Excellent.

Using this model is easy. Just connect it to an analog DC power source, and it will start running smoothly. When handling it, be gentle as it's a delicate brass model. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to avoid rust. Every once in a while, check the gearbox and drive tube for any signs of wear or looseness. If you notice the running getting noisy or rough, it might be time to clean and lubricate the gearbox like it was recently serviced. When shipping or storing, make sure it's well - packed in the provided bubble - wrapped box to prevent any damage.
