This is a 1977 model built for Nickel Plate Products by Kumata in Japan. The box shows only a little wear, and the original foam has been replaced with a 'pick n' pluck' style insert. The professional paint job is top - notch with hardly any wear. Lenses and a coal load have been added for extra realism. A previous owner did a great job upgrading it to a can motor. Airhose and steam line castings have also been added to the tender. It's an outstanding example of this model. **Details** - **Brand**: NPP - Nickel Plate Products - **Part Number**: N/A - **Condition**: C - 7 Excellent - **Decorated**: Professionally painted with minimal wear and no visible decal film - **Wheel Wear**: Minimal - **Noise**: 3 out of 10 - Moderate motor/drive noise - **Operation**: Runs smoothly - **Motor**: Can Motor Upgrade - **Backhead/Interior Detail**: Basic - **Lighting**: None - **Couplers/Trucks**: Kadee coupler on the tender and a cast drop - style coupler on the pilot - **Packaging**: Original Box Only **Shipping** - Free Domestic USA Shipping for all purchases over $199!

Using this model is straightforward. Just place it on your HO - scale railroad track and power it up. It should run smoothly as it has been well - maintained. When handling, hold it gently by the body to avoid any damage to the added details like the lenses and the coal load. Also, be careful around the couplers to prevent bending them. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to dust it off regularly. This will keep the paint and details looking good. If you notice any dirt on the wheels, use a mild cleaner and a small brush to clean them gently. Store it in the original box when not in use to protect it from dust and potential damage. And remember, if you have any questions or issues, we're here to help!
