This is a 1972 run Pacific Fast Mail imported model built by Tenshodo in Japan. The box has some shelf wear, with slight scuffing on the corners and label. It comes with a replacement 'Pick 'n Pluck' foam insert. This factory - painted Crown series model has been recently serviced. The old gearbox grease was cleaned out and replaced, and a new drive tube has been installed. It runs reasonably quietly and smoothly, and it's a very solid model that shows little sign of use considering its age. It's a great addition to any Great Northern steam locomotive collection.

For maintenance, it's a good idea to keep the gearbox clean. Since it's been recently serviced with new grease and a new drive tube, it should run well for a while. But keep an eye on the wheel wear, which is currently minimal. If you notice any excessive noise from the motor or gearbox, which is currently at a moderate level, it might be time for another check - up.
