A SPECTACULAR model! I can't say it any better. This is a high end model in every way. It is a River Series Pullman observation car marked GENESEE RIVER. Prototype car(s) were used on the NYC name trains including the 20th Century Limited, Commodore Vanderbilt, Wolverine, South Wind and many others. This model was Imported by Challenger Imports, LTD and was built by Samhongsa Models of Korea. Factory painted, inside and out. Full interior detail and paint is AMAZING! Check the full width diaphragms and underbody generator detail. Paint is absolutely flawless. I don't think this has ever been on the rails...not since I've owned it. Purchased new from a hobby shop. Comes in original box, foam, tissue and plastic. I would definately call this one mint without reservation. Nicest NYC obs ever made in my opinion. Make me an offer, I may set a buy it now for you. Selling from my personal collection, time to thin the heard. I'm out of town every other day and sometimes I'm home only from after hours to before hours (I work freight pool for UP) so I will ship the first opportunity once paid, usually within two days. Thanks, Dave
