This item was inherited from my uncle, who was a long-time train enthusiast and used to build and sell models. I do not collect model trains myself, which is why I am listing this item.

As this is a brass model, it can be restored to like-new condition by someone skilled in metalworking who can strip the paint and fill dents with solder.
It would also be suitable for parts or as a base vehicle for applying your preferred weathering. {From AI}

*Although there are missing parts, it has never been run and is intricately crafted, with a uniform and carefully applied paint finish throughout.

The missing floorboard screw does not cause the floorboard to detach in its current state, but if this is a concern, please replace the screw yourself.

*There is no original box, so it will be shipped wrapped in cushioning material. The photos show everything included.

As I am not a collector, I cannot answer detailed questions. Please review the photos from multiple angles and purchase only if you understand and accept the condition.

・If you would like to see photos from other angles, please leave a comment.

*No claims, no returns (NCNR).

Immediate purchase OK.
