THIS *RARE* AND BEAUTIFUL O SCALE 2-RAIL BRASS UNION PACIFIC "BIG BOY" 4-8-8-4 #4006 WAS IMPORTED BY MAX GRAY AND WAS CRAFTED BY KTM IN JAPAN. SERIAL #1019 ON REAR OF CAB AND MATCHING NUMBER ON THE REAR ENGINE GEAR BOX COVER. PURCHASED MANY YEARS AGO AND USED AS A DISPLAY PIECE BY ACOLLECTOR NOT AN OPERATOR! IT FEATURES OUTSTANDING ATTENTION TO DETAIL, OPEN FRAME MOTOR, BRAKE SHOES, NO NOTICEABLE WHEEL WEAR AND SPRUNG TENDER TRUCKS. THE PAINT JOB IS JUST FAIR WI...TH SOME CHIPS, SPOTTING AND DUST FROM MANY YEARS OF DISPLAY---ALSO, THE PAINTER DID NOT REMOVE THE PAINT FROM THE TENDER TRUCK TIRES. I HAVE NO WAY TO TEST RUN, CONSEQUENTLY, IT IS BEING OFFERED "AS-IS." THERE IS NO BOX, HOWEVER, IT WILL BE CAREFULLY PACKED IN AN OVER SIZE BOX FOR SAFE SHIPMENT. DON'T MISS-OUT ON THIS UNIQUE BRASS MODEL---WHICH IS SIMILAR TO THE PROTOTYPE RECENTLY RESTORED 'UP' BIG BOY THAT RAN FROM CHEYENNE, WYOMING TO PROMONTORY, UTAH SEVERAL WEEKS AGO TO CELEBRATE THE "GOLDEN SPIKE" 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILROAD'S COMPLETION ON MAY 10th. THIS EARLY BRASS STEAM LOCOMOTIVE WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO YOUR ROSTER ORCOLLECTION!!!NORESERVE!!!PAYMENTMUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 5 DAYS OF THE AUCTION CLOSE! THANKSFOR LOOKING & BIDDING!
