Hi. I had assembled a locomotive and car collection for a 35-year old dream layout that never got built...nor will it. This extracurricular activity at age 62 suggests I must downsize my collections so I am offering this out of production locomotive. I bought this unit new from now defunct The HobbyDashery, Springfield, MO back in 1989. Overland Model Inc undecorated OMI-1894 HO scale brass CMStP&P aka Milwaukee Road electric switcher representing Class ES-2 # 80-82 series produced by M.S.Models, So. Korea, 1989 run of 200, according to table in Brass Model Trains, Price and Data Guide, Vol.2 2009 edition. CONDITION : Never run except for testing before posting this ad and point of sale 2+ decades ago. No dings nor dents are present, although surface lacquer has slight discoloration in places along top, ends, and sides (please review pics). Moderately Detailed: unit has no glazed windows or cab interior, but cab shades, winterized side window are provided. Unit has rivet detail, grab irons, a few safety appliances, footboards, detailed truck frames but spoked wheel axles are not sprung. Pantagraph will raise. Static headlight and rear light are non-performing detail parts only. No couplers are provided. Box, 1 piece of foam are original and in excellent shape. Middle and lid foam layers were misplaced and lost. There is no part bag. Should this item sell unit will be packed well to ensure against excessive movement during transit. Possibly it could rate a C-8 (Like New) but unit has been a shelf queen for several years with other electric locomotives. For this reason I gave it a C-7 rank. NOTE: Unit has spent most of its life stored in the box it came in from South Korea. Unit's motor ran loudly when I test ran it before posting this ad. It has not been lubed since 1989. Reserve of $299.98 is set. SHIPPING : Power unit and box weigh about 0 lb 15 oz. With protective packing added for safe transit postal rate will go as 2 lb. Model box size: 8.75, 4.25, 2.75. USA: depending on destination there are times when USPS Priority is more reasonable than USPS large flat rate carton. My origin zip is 65201 if you wish to compare at . For domestic "lower 48" USA : UPS Ground : item can be tracked, no Saturday/Sunday delivery, business delivery address more reasonable than residential delivery. If a business, let me know as I cannot deduce by address alone. Also, please check with your Paypal Protection coverage policy as address change may affect whether or not your item will be covered during delivery. Delivery change or requested delay while item enroute may involve additional charges; and USPS Priority : Monday-Saturday delivery available. Fairly reliable service. Delivery can be delayed provided USPO notified in advance; or USPS Parcel Post : same as above though delivery not quite as efficient. for Canada and International : NOTE: if item valuation at auction end exceeds $400 USD USPS First Class Mail International CANNOT be an option for international shipping. USPS regulations don't allow for insurance with this shipping alternative. USPS Priority International : more timely delivery, item can be insured; USPS Express International : faster than USPS Priority International, first $100 insurance included in rate, more expensive than other 2 choices mentioned but tracking is far superior. UPS Worldwide Saver (overseas, not Canada) : expensive; at least $100 more compared to USPS charges but you get the service you pay for plus the item you won will arrive in your lifetime. NOTE: Potential Buyers from SPAIN or PORTUGAL or GREECE: For the first time in my 5 years with ebay I have endured a lost/stolen sale overseas via Customs. I will not punish all for the action of 1 official. However, if this item is won by someone in Spain, Portugal, Greece, please be aware that UPS Worldwide Saver is the only mailing option I'll accept and use to ship to your country as this concern keeps all transit movement, including tariff collection (if necessary) under their umb... read more
