This very special Steam Locomotive, The Fireless Loco C, Type Meiningen is from 1st owner ( my private collection ) and has been weathered / patinated by a professional. The image of dust and grime is hand painted using high quality paints The weathering gives the locomotive a realistic appearance and makes it unique, a real collectors item. The shunter ( man with yellow helmet) is part of the engine and included in the sale. The locomotive is in excellent condition and has hardly been used. Most of the time it was displayed in a glass show-case. It has been tested DC and runs very well and smooth. The model has space in the front of the boiler to build in a DCC decoder. This is an option for a DIY person, see photo wihout boiler front and the description enclosed. Decoder not included. Spring loaded buffers on front and back side of the engine, giving realistic effects during shunting. The model is sold as shown, photos attached are part of the description. Locomotive will be packed very carefully and shipped in the original packaging, Reason for sale is relocation, smaller home, lack of space.
