In 1982, NJ Custom Brass imported this amazing model train built by KSM in Japan. The box has some moderate shelf wear with scuffs. There are no spare parts, but the boiler weight is included. This model has had minimal run time, making it a great example. It has undergone a major rebuild, with the injector re-soldered, the front frame member on the loco fixed, and other loose details sorted out. Only 75 of these were imported, a very low number for this production era. Note: There's a small spot of corrosion on the underside of the trailing truck mount - check the photos.

Using your HO scale custom brass model train is a breeze. Just connect it to a compatible analog - DC power source and watch it roll. When handling the train, be gentle as it's a delicate item. For storage, keep it in the original box and foam to protect it from dust and potential damage. Regularly check the wheels for any signs of excessive wear. If you notice the motor/gearbox noise increasing, it might be a good idea to have it inspected. To prevent tarnish, store the train in a dry environment. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface gently. Avoid using any harsh chemicals on the brass. If you need to move the train, hold it by the sturdier parts like the loco body. And remember, if you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact us.
