HO Brass - PFM United D&RGW Rio Grande L-131 2-8-8-2 - 1981 SPECIAL - Mint Unpainted
This is a particularly special modeler that comes from a very special collection. PFM did a few runs of the 'last run' of the L-131 between 1977 and 1980. There is a version of the model that was imported in much smaller quantities! That is this model! In 1981 PFM received 10 FINAL models which were upgraded with such features as Plated Cylinder Caps, Can Motors, Full BackHeads, and more.
You won't see another one of these with the plated cylinder covers. This comes from a collection in JAPAN.
- 1981 Run model in Original Condition
- Runs well in both directions with minimal noise - Original Motor
- Original Jean box included - foam is in great shape!
- Box says 1980 but this can be guaranteed as a 1981 version based on the Cylinder Covers. Our friends at BrassTrains have NEVER seen this model come through!
