From Tenshodo of Tokyo, Japan an HO gauge, brass model of the UNION PACIFIC "BIG BOY" 4-8-8-4 � � � � � � Test run only, so little to no driver wear. Factory painted, t are� some chips, it has been in the box for 8+ years and so should be lubricated before running. The headlight does work. Original boxes� have some shelf wear and� it appears that� much of the foam/packaging has been replaced. Please, h ave a good� look at the pictures; and� as always, get back to me with any questions, comments, or concerns. � � � � � � � � � � � Thanks for checkin' it out! � � � Please note: *The above information is gleaned from the box label and the owner's brief notes. Having little expertise in these models myself, I none-the-less try to list them as accurately and fairly as I can. I am happy to reply to questions, and/or even email an extra photo or two upon request. When called for, I will try to get more information from the owner, but that is not always possible, or reliable. *I will be thankful to anyone possessing more knowledge who sees and points out anything amiss with this model, or my listing of it. I will add any such information to the listing. (Check back for any Q&A updates.)*I have come to learn that the owner/collector of these models collected with only his heart, and did not mind if paint and decals matched historic rosters. So, if this is of concern to you, please use the photos to determine historical accuracy. *Because I know so very little about these models, I put a lot of effort into the photographs, please examine them closely and get back to me with any concerns. I can, and do, guarantee you will receive exactly what is pictured! * All items sell AS IS .� (However, if you are the eventual buyer and upon receipt feel t is a problem not evident in either the photos or the description,� please contact us before leaving feedback. � It is our sincerest intention to� deal fairly with everyone .)*USPS insurance� requires that, should it occur, "The addressee must report damage of an insured article's contents at their local post office." ... and for international buyers: *Import duties, customs fees, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges.

( USPS does offer insurance up to $2,499.00 with it's Global Express Guaranteed® (GXG) service to many locations. However eBay's postage calculator will not show it, and it is very expensive: between $150.00 to $200.00, w/insurance, for most of Europe. - If you are interested in this model and know of a less expensive, insurable shipping method to your country, please advise. )� � My Shipping and Handling Charge Details: � � � In addition to the cost of postage and insurance, the price shown in the Shipping and Handling Calculator includes an additional $4.95 for all domestic shipments and $7.50 for international.
