HO Scale Haidar DF3 DC (DCC Ready)

The DF3 is a copy of a Soviet TE locomotive and uses a copy of an American Fairbanks-Morse engine. The DF and DF3 became some of the mainstays of China Rail operations in the 1960s. Although they were designed to be used in tandem pairs--as they mostly were in the Soviet Union--they were generally used in singles in China. 

The blue model is a special edition--only one of 1,000!

Please note--this is a wonderful model--very heavy and responsive--but it is somewhat fragile given the nature of Haidar's relationship to making brass models. This is recommended for hobbyists 18 and over only. This model is new and only test run to ensure that it works and all parts are intact. Also note that Haidar does not ship any type of instructions with their locomotives. Removal of the shell involves taking off four screws on the bottom of the locomotive.
