Description: Up for auction is a rare Key Imports unpainted Southern Pacific C-10 Consolidation complete with a C-100 class tender. The model was made by Samhongsa of Korea in 1981. Only 100 of this model were made. I am the original owner. When I reserved this model, I reserved an extra switcher style pilot and smokebox cover with the modern Pyle headlight to upgrade this model to the 1940s/50s era. The model came with a water tube road pilot and the earlier style (1920s/30s) headlight. As upgraded, this model is just right for those modeling the 1940s/50s era. This model features a quiet, smooth running can motor, decent quality castings, reasonable cab detail and straight running boards. The tender is the very popular 10,000 gallon cylindrical style and features a removable oil bunker which makes DCC conversion much easier. You can add additional weight to the engine and still have plenty of room for a decoder in the tender. I grade the condition out at a C-8 taking off 2 points due to the starting to show some discoloration after 42+ years of storage. The model was test run only and has no wheel wear. Model is mint except for the brass finish which has minor discoloration issues which pose no issue for somone painting this beautiful model. The Southern Pacific had hundreds of 2-8-0s across the C-8, C-9 and C-10 classes. All three classes are near identical. This model can be used to model any of the three classes. If you study photos, you will see that engines in these three classes had either straight or stepped running boards. This feature varied by engine and not by class. This particular model is an example of a straight running board engine. Key made models of both variations but under different model numbers. The model comes with the original box and packaging and includes the nut driver and an extra parts bag. This item ships USPS Ground Advantage by itself.
