Seller pays all US customs. Up for sale is the hard-to-find vintage Marx #1998 Santa Fe Diesel Switcher Locomotive in the scarce factory Black paint scheme. Built on the deluxe 8-wheel dual-truck chassis (significantly more desirable and better running than the common 4-wheel models), this O-gauge locomotive has been freshly serviced, fully bench-tested, and is ready for layout operation.
Featuring crisp white/silver "A.T. & S.F." and "SANTA FE 1998" lettering on a solid black molded body, this locomotive runs smoothly in both directions with strong motor torque and clean electrical contacts. The platform bears the authentic circular "MADE IN MAR USA" hallmark.
