This 1983 Key Imports model was built by Samhongsa in Korea. The box shows some shelf wear, with one torn corner and scuffing in other areas - check the photos. It comes with spare parts, an alternate airpump shield, and smoke lifters (not installed). It's a Lima version with a switcher pilot, sunken Elesco Feedwater Heater, Box Pok drivers, and brass brake shoes. It's a significantly improved version of the previous run, with better detail, an upgraded drive, and other enhancements. It's sound - ready, with a cam on the second driver axle and the tender factory - drilled for speaker installation. This is a somewhat rare model, as only 70 of this version were imported. It seems to have been test - run only and is a smooth runner. Brand: Brass Key Imports. Condition: C - 8 Like New. Wheel wear is virtually none, and the wheel plating is excellent.

Since the wheel wear is minimal now, you can simply wipe them clean with a soft cloth every now and then to keep the plating in good condition.
