Product Description
Command the grades with this legendary HO Scale 4-6-6-4 Challenger. Unlike modern plastic imports, this Bowser model is built primarily from die-cast metal and stamped steel, giving it the weight and "heft" required for long freight drags.
Key Features & Build Quality:

Construction: Heavy die-cast metal boiler and frame with stamped steel valve gear for long-term mechanical reliability.
-
Detailing: Enhanced with brass details including handrails and piping, providing a more refined look than a standard out-of-the-box kit.

Tender: Large-capacity oil/coal style tender with die-cast trucks and crisp detailing.
Condition Details:
