1986 run Key Imports model built by Samhongsa in Korea. Box shows some shelf wear with scuffing in spots. The poppet valve Niagara #5500 was the New York Central's last bastion of steam locomotive development. The most powerful of all the Niagaras, it ultimately lost out to dieselization. Sound ready - cam on the second driver axle and tender factory drilled for speaker. Signs of use throughout the model. Missing cab handrail, fireman's side. Re-soldered both tender steps. Some paint wear and replacement screws - see photos. Tender light inoperative despite replacing the factory plug between the loco and tender - issue is in the lighting circuit or the bulb itself.
