Earliest variation of 12 loco has frame with cream stripe in groove, black with brass and copper trim, made 1930. Cylinder block looks like a replacement, some new screws, side-rods and wheels are original, look cleaned. Loco overall has had some cleaning, has minor wear and small dull spots. Cab-roof has more wear, very minor corrosion, minor ding corner overhang. It otherwise looks nice with complete original trim. Loco has early 2-position brass reverser, also headlight and firebox light. Reverser needs some attention for it to run right. I was able to coax it to run in reverse and lights worked. Hard to find early version, top of the line for its era. Small red lenses in boiler front are not original. All Items, including N.
