HO Gauge Katsumi Model Shop EF65 1000 Series DC Electric Locomotive, Brass Made "Condition" ・Used, fully functional, and maintained. This is an older product, and the gears are all made of brass, so the running sound is loud. Lights function correctly. It is a 2-motor specification, so it consumes more power than a 1-motor vehicle, requiring the power pack controller to be turned quite far to the right. The brightness of the lights increases with running speed, so they are quite dim at low speeds. Both pantographs are in good working order. ※Precautions for raising and lowering the pantograph: When raising, always pinch the center of the shoe and slowly pull it away from the fixing bracket. Pulling it up by the downward-curving tips on either side will inevitably cause damage. When lowering, lightly press the center of the shoe while snapping it into the fixing bracket. [Maintenance Details] ・The screws on the underside were removed to separate the upper part (body) from the lower part (floorboard, motor, bogies, etc.). The upper part was checked for deterioration of the wiring to the lights, the included window glass was installed (the curved parts of the panoramic window were carefully curved with heat), and the included number plates were attached (spare number plates are available). The lower part involved cleaning the wheels and motor commutators, adjusting the meshing of the worm gear and spur gear by loosening the motor mounting screws on the power bogie and inserting paper, lubricating the motor bearings and wheel bearings, and replacing the couplers from the Baker type to Kadee couplers. ※After purchasing, the above maintenance was performed, and test runs were confirmed. It was displayed in a glass case for a while, but is now stored in its original box. ※Please understand that this is a very old product, and its running condition differs from current products. ・While the details may not match current products, it has the appeal of the texture and weight of metal (brass).
