Unique Custom Variant Expertly Weathered: United Scale Models HO Brass 2-6-6-2 Articulated Mallet

This is a one-of-a-kind, fully operational brass locomotive with a fascinating custom finish. This Sierra R.R. type Mallet has been expertly weathered and lettered for the Virginian Railway, featuring a unique dual-numbering scheme (#510 on one side, #4579 on the other).

Item Highlights:

• Mechanical Status: Tested and Runs Well. Articulated chassis and valve gear move smoothly and reliably.

• Scale & Build: HO Scale (1:87) brass. Manufactured by Atlas Industries (Japan) for Pacific Fast Mail (PFM).

• Unique Finish: Professional matte-black weathering. Features Road #510 on the left side and Road #4579 on the right side.

• Packaging: Includes the original United Scale Models "Infinitely Superior" blue box and foam.

Collector’s Note: Dual-numbered pieces like this are often the "stars" of a layout, representing the individual character of a private collection. The undercarriage bears the verified "United Scale Models - Tokyo Japan" hallmark.

Condition: The engine is in excellent mechanical health. The weathering is deep and realistic, highlighting the intricate brass piping and rivets. Please see the photos for a side-by-side comparison of the two different road numbers.
