• Unpainted  - Serial #327 - There is some light tarnish here and there; please see photos.
  
• This is the first example of a SOFUE FEF that we have seen and it is in Excellent Shape!
  
• (To the best of our understanding these serial #'s ran from the first model Mr. Sofue built, until the last model. The run on each model he produced was quite limited)
• There are some minor differences within the same run of models.
  
• Runs Very Well - Coasting Drive.  On a scale from 1-10 We rate the noise level at 2
  
• Operating Directional Lights
• Also features operating tender and forward marker lights. Lit Classification boards. Also running board light below both walkways on either side of the boiler!
• Smoke lifters are included with screws but uninstalled.
  
• Sprung tender trucks
• Excellent In-Cab Detail
• Superb Overall Detail
  
• Beautiful Original Wood Box included. (the name plate on the box looks like it has a scratch but it does not. It  is a tear in the protective plastic coating)
  
• Not only are these hard to find models, surprisingly they are even harder to find in unpainted excellent condition.
• Unfortunately Mr. Sofue passed away in 2009 so no more of these fine models are being built.
  

This is a Beautiful Late Run Japanese Model! This particular model looks stunning in its natural brass!
