This is a 1981 Key Imports model built by Samhongsa in Korea. It comes in a box for a Virginian series locomotive of the same class, showing some edge and corner scuffs. Inside, there's a spare parts bag. The locomotive features installed glazing, coal load, and figures, with beautiful details all around. For a 1981 vintage model, it's quite modern, having dual sound cams and a detailed backhead. A Soundtraxx TSU-1000 Sound/Power decoder is installed, with chuff triggered by dual sound cams and set for articulated sound. Note that the tender's trucks have been replaced, but they're correct for the model, and there are some solder repairs for bent steps. It runs smoothly and sounds great.

Using this locomotive is a breeze. Just set it on the track and power it up using the DCC system set to #3. The front and rear lights will automatically turn on, and you'll enjoy the realistic sound from the decoder. When handling the locomotive, be gentle, especially around the detailed backhead and the movable deck plate. The Kadee coupler on the tender makes it easy to attach other cars.
For maintenance, regularly check the wheels for any signs of excessive wear. Although the wheel wear is currently minimal, keeping them clean will ensure smooth operation. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the locomotive's body and remove any dust. If you notice any loose parts or if the locomotive starts making more noise than usual, it might be a good idea to check the solder repairs and the trucks.
When it comes to storage, keep it in the original box with the foam and paperwork. This will protect it from damage. And remember, if you're shipping it, we've packed it in a way to keep it safe, but still handle it with care during transit.
