This is an early 1970s PFM - Tenshodo imported model train built in Japan. The box shows very little shelf wear. It comes without spare parts and has light wear from the factory paint. Recently, it was serviced with a new drive tube and a complete gearbox clean - out. This is a great example of a branchline 2 - 8 - 0 locomotive used by the Great Northern. It's a nice, solid model.

Using this model train is quite straightforward. Just connect it to a compatible analog DC power source, and it's ready to run on your train track. When handling the train, be gentle as it's a fragile item. For maintenance, keep it clean from dust and debris. You can use a soft brush to clean the exterior. Check the gearbox regularly for any signs of wear or dirt build - up, like we did during the recent service with a complete clean - out. If you notice any unusual noise or performance issues, it might be time to have it serviced again. When storing the train, keep it in the original box with the hand - cut foam to protect it from damage. And remember, since it has a Kadee coupler only on the tender, be careful when coupling it with other train cars. Enjoy your model train!
