UP FEF-3 4-8-4 #838 FREIGHT

SPECIAL WEATHERED EDITION

This custom run of FEF-3 locomotives will be detailed with additional paint to give them a weathered look that will look great on your freight layout!

These locomotives will be offered as part of the Kato USA Kobo Custom Paint line, hand-painted and decorated by a master modeler in Japan. While they will not be a “limited” run, all orders will be processed in a made-to-order fashion and will available on a first come, first served basis until the base models run out. Due to the hand-made nature of this item, some minor blemishes and differences may be present from model to model – Kato USA cannot take returns on items unless they possess major paint or mechanical issues.
