This 1980-run model from Westside Model Co. was imported and built by Samhongsa in Korea. The box shows some moderate shelf wear, and the original foam has been replaced with a 'pick n' pluck' style insert. It comes with all spare parts and a side rod wrench. It's the Elesco Feedwater Heater version. The boiler and tender have been refinished to reduce red staining, though a little red stain remains on the cylinders, frame, and a few tiny spots on the caboose. A previous owner made some small solder repairs and added a bit of extra weight. The tender vestibule works but needs the pressure of the cab wall to stay in place.

Using this HO scale brass model train is easy. First, make sure it's connected to a proper analog DC power source. Then, you can control its speed and movement with your DC controller. When using the tender vestibule, remember it needs the pressure of the cab wall to stay in place. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place to prevent further tarnishing. You can gently clean the light tarnish on the frame and cylinders with a soft cloth. Check the wheel wear regularly, and if you notice any excessive wear, you may need to replace the wheels. When it comes to the motor, if you hear more noise than the normal 2 out of 10 level, it might need some lubrication. Also, be careful when handling the model to avoid any small solder repairs coming loose. And don't forget to keep all the spare parts in a safe place in case you need them in the future.
