Details:

All the add-on detail parts and alternate horn-hook couplets are present in still-sealed baggies. Original paperwork is included. Loco is dcc ready.

Loco should certainly be given a good lube oil before being put into service on layout. Buyer should also be prepared to replace anywhere from 1-4 of the axle gears, if desired. Loco appears to have never been run. Priority mail shipping including delivery confirmation.

Stock the body shell looks perfect new. I think it has sat idle in the box for quite a while. The proto 2000 gp9s often have very common manufacturers defect of split gears. Pardon any camera flash reflection.

Since it is still sealed and therefore could not be tested by me, loco being sold as.

The gears are fairly easy to replace. Any warranty will have to come from Walters. Box is shelf-worn, but it still remains in very good solid condition.

I will discount shipping for multiple items won from me on same day. Fairly heavy item.

The replacement axle gears are available from Athene part, 6 in a pack. Take a look at the photo sand see what you think. It is still sealed in Styrofoam insert by factory-applied tape. Loco has operating constant directional headlights on each end and lighted number boards, as well factory-installed proto 2000 magnetic knuckle couplets with universal couplet pockets.
