In 1988, Cascade Models imported this amazing model, which was built by Kumata in Japan. The box shows very little shelf wear. It comes with rubber diaphragms and spare parts. The factory plating is top - notch. This model represents the Budd 10 - 6 sleepers rebuilt by Amtrak at Beech Grove and retrofitted with HEP (Head End Power). These sleepers were introduced to Amtrak in 1971 and were used on almost all single - level trains.

Using this HO scale brass train model is a breeze. Just place it on your train track and watch it go. Since it has no lighting, you don't have to worry about any electrical connections. Also, as it has no couplers, you can choose to attach your preferred ones if you want to connect it to other train cars.
When handling the model, be gentle because it's made of brass and can be a bit fragile. Avoid dropping it or knocking it against hard surfaces.
For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the model clean from time to time. This will help keep the excellent factory plating looking good. If there are any stubborn spots, you can use a mild cleaner, but make sure to test it on a small, hidden area first to avoid damaging the plating. Store the model in its original box and foam when not in use to protect it from dust and potential damage.
