HO PFM Frisco 2-10-0 SOUND SPECIAL

HO PFM - United. Frisco 2-10-0 Sound Special. Here is a great collectors items. From the PFM collection, is one of the 'Sound Special' Models. These models were painted in Japan by Tenshodo, and sent to dealers to demonstrate PFM sound to their customers. They were sent free of charge, but ownership was retained by PFM. Dealers were required to send the models back to PFM when they were no longer using them. Naturally many models 'disappeared'. They show up once in a while, but often in poor shape. Furthermore each of these models comes with a Certificate of Authenticity that it was from the PFM collection. It also includes letters that were originally sent to the dealers. This particular model has sound installed. The model runs OK. It does not have operating lights. It is in terrible shape, appears to have oxidation, water damage, etc. The box is terrible as well. The bell is missing.
