Even if noted as running well, it is always advisable to do a proper clean and lube before extensive running as dust, old lube, aged rubber, etc all need attention. Specific comments for this item follow below. Tested and fully working, with lights and dcc ready. This is one of the more detailed spectrum models. Note: The screw holding the tender shell on is stripped. You will get what you see, if you don’t see it then it isn’t included. If not sure, please ask me. In particular, if I don’t show or state there is a box, or battery, etc then there isn’t. Please don’t assume there is.

Even if noted as running well, it is always advisable to do a proper clean and lube before extensive running as dust, old lube, aged rubber, etc all need attention. Specific comments for this item follow below. Tested and running well, with what I believe is esu dcc sound, but the screw to open the tender is stripped. Has a suger cube speaker, as can be seen from the crack in the shell near the front. (As shown) Startup is function 8, so I also think this is esu. Weathered nicely, a little dirty too. Some semi-detached detail bits, see pics! This is a general description for these locos. They have all been in storage some time, and so will require a service. Some have dirty wheels, and so are intermitant, but motors etc are all working fine. You will need to give them a service before running, you cannot just put these on your layout and expect them to go perfectly. You will get what you see, if you don’t see it then it isn’t included. If not sure, please ask me. In particular, if I don’t show or state there is a box, or battery, etc then there isn’t. Please don’t assume there is.

Tested and running well, but when it gets to higher speeds near the max of what my controller outputs the board in the tender starts to smoke. The board is faulty and will need to be replaced! – This could be how these boards were designed and simply cannot handle the max voltage. Note it currently has a “burnt out” smell to it from testing, but this will go away within a few weeks/days.
