This model was built in 1972 by Kumata in Japan for Nickel Plate Products. The box shows some wear and lacks the original foam, but the model comes with bubble - wrap. It's factory - painted in Milwaukee's 'Hiawatha' scheme, with a decent paint job. The locomotive, numbered #3 on the cab sides, has very slight foam damage on one side (check the photos).

It has a Kadee coupler on the tender and a cast coupler on the locomotive pilot, and comes in the original box. Free domestic USA shipping for purchases over $199! We ship worldwide.
