Item History & Price
I am offering this hard to find brass HOn3 2-8-2 K-27 RioGrande Southern #455 “snowplow” steam locomotive made by Nakamuru Seimitsu Co., Ltd. (NKM) of Japan (operated 1974-1984) and imported by the Westside Model Co.(WMC) of Aptos, CA (operated 1964-1982). I have the original box with foam insert, both in VG-EX condition, alongwith a loco weight still in the box. Noinstructions or other literature.The loco has been custom painted with some weathering (seearound the s...moke stack) and decorated with 2 figures inside the cab.Two issues to note. The front boiler plate cover is missing and there is a loose unpaintedpart. I have seen the part online (i.e.– eBay) on top of the smoke stack; but, other web sites (i.e. –brasstrains.com) do not show the part at all.I do not have HOn3 track, so I touched power leads directlyto the wheels.
