This is a Van Hobbies imported model expertly built by Samhongsa in Korea. The box has some shelf wear and the lid shows fading from sun exposure. It comes with spare parts and extra crests. This is an outstanding model that runs smoothly and looks amazing. Samhongsa really excelled here, both in appearance and operation. The simulated stainless steel boiler lagging gives it a touch of class. However, two of the raised stainless - plated numerals on the fireman's side running board are missing, and the front coupler is slightly bent, which is why it has a C - 6 rating.

Using this model train is straightforward. First, make sure you have a proper analog DC power source. Connect the locomotive to your track and turn on the power. You'll notice the working lights on the headlight and tender immediately light up. It runs well with minimal noise, thanks to its can motor and coasting drive. When it comes to handling, be gentle as the front coupler is slightly bent and the raised stainless - plated numerals on the fireman's side running board are missing. Try not to apply too much pressure to avoid further damage. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels for any signs of excessive wear. Since the wheel wear is currently minimal, it should last a long time with proper care. Clean the locomotive gently with a soft cloth to keep it looking its best. When storing the model, keep it in the original box and foam to protect it from any potential damage. Remember, if you're shipping it, we've packed it bullet - proof, but still, handle with care during transit.
