Details:
Nice detail on this engine.
This is an offer for an ho scale athearn southern pacific SW1500 with custom light weathering applied.
It has slight use as the owner did not have a layout and only ran at club layouts a few times a year. Original box and packing included.
This was a blue yellow dcc ready athearn model originally. All parts appear to be included.
Most of his time was spent weathering and detailing similar engines which I also have for sale this week in other offers. This has custom weathering to create a unique dcc model of a lightly weathered southern pacific switcher.
The handrails will need some final alignment and securing once you are ready to put this into service.
There is no shipping outside the us. A custom painter has applied light weathering. Please review the pictures carefully.
Dcc is installed but I do not know what decoder was used.
