1956 run Pacific Fast Mail model built by Tetsudo in Japan. Comes in REBOXX box and foam. Unpainted - heavy tarnish. Very smooth runner with signs of heavy use. Brass drivers in decent shape and they are plating free, as built. Model is rated C-6 (Very Good) as we believe tender trucks to not be original, and due to heavy tarnish. Entirely hand built and a fun example of early brass model train history. Note: While 8 examples were reported to have been built, only one has come to market in recent history. One of only 8 models built in this production "run". Very rare and fun model for any brass collector!
