This 1956 Pacific Fast Mail model was built by Tetsudo in Japan. It comes in a non - original box that shows moderate shelf wear, water damage, staining, and a torn corner. The paintwork is fair with lots of wear and tarnish. It runs fairly smoothly despite signs of heavy use. The brass drivers are in decent shape. It has received internal and external lubrication and a gearbox/tube replacement. This entirely hand - built model is a fun piece of early brass model train history. **Details** - **Brand**: Brass PFM - Tetsudo - **Part Number**: N/A - **Condition**: C - 5 Good - **Wheel Wear**: Minimal - **Noise**: 6 of 10 - Moderate motor/gearbox noise - **Operation**: Runs well - solid drive - **Motor**: Open Frame Motor (OFM) - **Backhead Detail**: None - **Decorated**: Custom Painted - Fair work with some wear throughout - **Control**: Analog DC Only - **Lighting**: None - **Couplers/Trucks**: None on pilot, cast coupler on tender - **Packaging**: Replacement Box and Packing Materials **Shipping** - Free Domestic USA Shipping for all purchases over $199!

Using this model train is easy. Just connect it to an analog DC power source, and it'll start running. When operating, be aware that it may make a moderate motor/gearbox noise, which is normal for this model. As for maintenance, since it has received internal and external lubrication and a gearbox/tube replacement, it should run smoothly for a while. But over time, you might want to check the wheel wear, which is currently minimal. If you notice any issues with the running, a bit of additional lubrication could help. Also, keep in mind that the paintwork has some wear, so avoid rough handling to prevent further damage. When storing the train, make sure to use the replacement box and packing materials provided to protect it from dust and potential impacts. And don't forget, if you have any problems with your purchase, our 30 - day money - back policy has you covered.
