Wood and Metal Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc++
Sold
Please read the article on this website about older HO train kits and the modeling revolution they caused in the late 1930s/1940s. During this time, Silver Streak created some of the most detailed and realistic rolling stock model that have ever been made. In most cases, wooden parts on the prototype are also wooden parts on the kit - same for metal parts. When you build them, they look just like the prototypes since they are made of the same materials. The model is factory painted and lettered for the Michigan Central. The paint is in new condition. This kit has wooden sides (since the real hopper did), other wooden parts, and metal underframe and details. and includes all underside and interior details of the hopper as well. The model has not been started and is complete.
