Happiness is hearing the UPS truck coming

My first brass 3 rail engine.

Surprised it was made in Korea and not China. 

When I was buying my HO engines back in the 80's, they were made in Japan.  They got too expensive to they started making them in Korea and, then, they got too expensive and started in China.

They packed her well.  Lots of foam (rubber and styro) plus taped to thin ply bases.  Good thing as the top of the box had a crack in it from the smoke stack.  No harm done but they must throw those things around pretty good.

The front of the boiler was off slightly, but it's just a 'force fit' so easy to rotate it.

 

MMM: looks like when you submit a picture vertically, it rotates it 90 degrees!
