This is a 1973 run PFM imported model train built by Tenshodo in Japan. The box has minor shelf wear, and the original foam has been replaced with a hand - cut insert. It's sound - ready, with a sound cam on the front axle of the rear engine and the tender factory - drilled for a speaker. There are no spare parts included. The paint is in great shape and intact. It runs smoothly, though it can be a bit noisy, which is typical for these models. The wheel plating looks excellent.

Using this model train is quite straightforward. It operates on an analog DC - only control system, so you'll need a compatible power source. Just connect it properly, and it should start running smoothly. When it comes to maintenance, keep an eye on the wheel plating. Since it's in great condition, try to avoid rough handling that could scratch it. The motor is an open - frame type, and it's normal for it to be a bit noisy. But if the noise becomes excessive, it might be a sign that it needs some attention. For storage, use the original box with the hand - cut foam insert. This will protect the model from any bumps or scratches. And remember, this model is fragile, so handle it gently. Shipping was carefully done, but once you receive it, give it a quick check to make sure everything is in order. If you notice any damage, contact us right away. Also, if you're using it for a long - term display, keep it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve the paint job.
