HO Scale Brass Model Train from TMS Tetsudo

New York Central 2-8-2

This model is in good overall condition considering the age and rarity of the model.
There is a lot of handwork on this model.
The model runs fine, but naturally quite noisy. On a scale from 1-10 the noise level is a 7.
Operating directional lights.
A few things make it special in our eyes, the original box (one box instead of two as we normally see).
Also the hand lettering on the tender and loco.
The model does have a lot of paint chips.
Coal load installed in tender.
A unique hand painted figure in the cab (quite unusual to find them in these models in our experience.)
No original packing materials in the box.
Great piece of history.

This model came from a collector that purchased these all in Japan when he was stationed there as a GI.
