This 1983 run PFM Tenshodo imported model was built in Japan. The box has minimal shelf wear with minor scuffing on the corners. It comes with a replacement ReBoxx Foam insert worth $45, spare parts, and a wrench. The Tenshodo 'Slant Silent Drive' design is an improvement over the 1976 run. Only 21 of these were imported to the USA out of 150 made. The plate indicates 1983 and wrongly lists the wheel arrangement as 4 - 8 - 8 - 4. It's serial number 129 of 150. It's sound - ready with the cam on the second axle of the front engine and tender factory - drilled for speaker installation. This solid model has 1983 run detailing and running improvements, making it a great addition to your collection.
