This is a 2007 imported model from Sunset Models, built in Korea. The box has very little shelf wear and comes with spare parts. The model is equipped with QSU Quantum DCC and Sound, which allows it to operate on both DC Analog and DCC controlled layouts. It represents road number 700 with an oil tender, and the real - life prototype is preserved in Portland, Oregon. Please note that the tender has some paint nicks and bent railings, and the plug between the locomotive and tender is faulty. The locomotive doesn't handle turns well, and the tender trucks may come off. However, on straight tracks, it runs fairly smoothly and quietly with great QSI sound. Brand: Brass Sunset Models.

Using this HO scale brass model train is straightforward. You can operate it on both DC Analog and DCC controlled layouts thanks to its QSI DCC and Sound system. Just connect it properly to your layout's power source. When running it, keep in mind that the locomotive doesn't handle turns well, so be careful when it reaches curves. Also, the tender trucks may come off easily, so you might need to re - attach them if that happens. Regarding maintenance, since it has minimal wheel wear, you don't need to worry too much about the wheels for now. However, check the plug between the locomotive and tender regularly as it's faulty. If you notice any issues with the sound or the operation, make sure the connections are secure. The paint on the tender has some nicks, so avoid rough handling to prevent further damage. Keep it stored in its original box and foam when not in use to protect it from dust and potential impacts.
