This 1963 run Pacific Fast Mail model was expertly imported and built by Toby in Japan. It's a crown - quality model. The box, from an earlier production run, shows some moderate wear with a torn corner, but it comes with the original excelsior packing. This model features great detail and solid build quality. It has recently been serviced, with the old gearbox grease removed and replaced, and a new drive tube installed. It runs smoothly and is a reliable example of this model. **Details** - **Brand**: Brass PFM - Toby - **Part Number**: N/A - **Condition**: C - 7 Excellent - **Wheel Wear**: Minimal - **Noise**: 6 out of 10 - Moderate motor/gearbox noise - **Operation**: Runs well - **Motor**: Open Frame Motor (OFM) - **Backhead Detail**: All - weather cab with no interior detail and a plain sheet as the backhead - **Decorated**: Unpainted with moderate tarnish - **Control**: Analog – DC Only - **Lighting**: None - **Couplers/Trucks**: Kadee coupler on the tender, cast on the locomotive pilot - **Packaging**: Older run box with excelsior packing. **Shipping** - Free Domestic USA Shipping for all purchases over $199!

Using this model train is quite straightforward. Just connect it to your analog DC power source and watch it run. Since it has an open - frame motor, it may produce a moderate amount of noise, but that's normal for this type of motor. When it comes to maintenance, keep an eye on the wheel wear. Although it currently has minimal wear, regular inspection can help you catch any issues early. Also, if you notice the motor or gearbox noise increasing over time, it might be a sign that it needs servicing like the recent cleaning and grease replacement it had. When storing the model, make sure to use the provided excelsior packing and the box. This will protect it from dust and damage. For shipping, if you're in the USA and your purchase is over $199, you'll get free shipping. For international orders, be aware that you're responsible for any import duties and tariffs.
