Akane HO Brass NYC 2-8-2 Mikado #1702 - Lighted - W/Box

Classic NYC Mainline Power: Akane HO Brass 2-8-2 Mikado #1702

Up for auction is a heavy-duty Japanese brass Mikado, finished for the New York Central and lettered for Road #1702. Akane models are legendary "operator's engines," prized for their mechanical reliability and impressive pulling power on HO scale layouts.

Item Highlights:

• Mechanical Status: Tested and Runs Well. Strong motor and smooth linkage operation.

• Road Number: #1702 (New York Central).

• Lighting: Functional headlight for prototypical night hauls.

• Builder: Handcrafted in Japan by Akane.

• Packaging: Includes the original Akane box and protective foam.

Condition Note:

• Cosmetic Details: Finished in New York Central satin black.

• Detail Parts: Please note that the brake shafts on one side are broken/missing. This is a common point of wear on vintage brass and does not impact the mechanical performance or "running" of the locomotive.

• Please review the photos closely for a detailed look at the lettering and the valve gear.
