I am selling this model for a friend. As an avid HO modeler, he delved into O scale 2-rail modeling with the hope of building a second model railroad in O Scale. A move to a new location has forced him to concentrate on a new HO empire. So I am selling his O scale models. My friend purchased this at a swap meet as new-old stock. (No active O Scale layout was ever built.) I tested it with a DC analog heavy duty power pack. I removed the tender body to see if it was DCC or some other electronics. There is a photo of the electronics in the tender. Looks like a 4 amp DCC decoder. I also lubed the loco.
Includes Williams original box and styrofoam interior packing.2992
