This is a 1979 Westside Model Co. import, built by Samhongsa in Korea. The box has minimal shelf wear with light scuffs. It comes with spare parts and has been recently serviced. The old gearbox grease was cleaned out and replaced. In 2013, Joe G Collais made some custom modifications, like moving the airpump and feedwater pump, and replacing the headlight with a Sunbeam type. He also tuned it up, making the locomotive very quiet and a smooth runner. It's a solid, nicely detailed model, truly one - of - a - kind from a respected author and talented brass builder.

Using your HO Brass Westside Model Co. locomotive is easy. Just connect it to an analog DC power source and watch it run. It's been tuned to run smoothly and quietly. When handling the locomotive, be gentle as it's a detailed and somewhat fragile model. For maintenance, it's a good idea to clean the wheels regularly to keep the movement smooth. Check the gearbox periodically and if you notice any noise or rough running, you might need to clean and replace the grease as it was done during the recent service. Keep the locomotive in its original box and foam when not in use to protect it from dust and damage. If you're shipping it, remember to follow proper packing procedures. When making a purchase, know that we offer free domestic USA shipping for orders over $199 and ship worldwide.
