This is a 1976 imported Northwest Short Line model built in Japan. The box has minimal shelf wear and comes with a foam insert and paperwork, but no spare parts.

Using this locomotive is pretty straightforward. It operates on analog DC power, so just connect it to a compatible power source and you're good to go. The locomotive runs well, but keep in mind it has a slow top speed. When handling the locomotive, be gentle as it's a fragile model. Since it's an unpainted brass model with minimal tarnish, avoid getting it wet or exposing it to harsh chemicals as this could cause further tarnishing. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels for any signs of wear. You might want to clean the gearbox every once in a while to keep it running smoothly, just like it was recently serviced. And when you're not using it, store it in its original box with the foam insert to protect it from damage.
