HO Brass model scratch built and custom painted by Joe G. Collias into Mopac 2-8-4 No. 1918. Included is a United Models box that shows some shelf wear. No spare parts included. We believe that the chassis started as a 2-8-2 mechanism from PFM - United but cannot confirm that. The tender is completely scratch built. Finally, the entire model was detailed to road number specific safety appliances and options. A one of a kind model in mint condition, showing very little evidence of use. Excellent detail, beautiful paint, one of a kind in every way.
