I bought this early hand built brass model recently. It is un-restored, but runs very well. These early hand built models are extremely rare, with only a handful in the world, for me, they are an exciting find for my collection. This model is unmarked, therefore, I am not sure who the maker was, but, I suspect it was made by Tetsudo or Kawai Models sometime between 1950 and 1955. (Sorry for the bad photos, these were the best I could get using my iphone).
Some shots of the Big Boy after reassembly and repairs. The paint was the biggest issue with this model. Other than some small items that needed re-soldering, the only thing I had to do was get rid of the awful paint. Unfortunately, I couldn't save the original factory paint, a shame, but, at some point it will be painted again to appear just as it did from the maker. This is engine #5 of just 25 made between 1955 and 1957.

Now being handbuilt again in the UK using classic geometries and Reynolds tubing...probably linked to success of Eroica events but, still nice to see.

Lots of machining going on here, trying to save a bit of weight. A little thinner than crowns I've made for customers, but hey, it's my bike.
After disassembling and cleaning the parts of this early handbuilt Tenshodo model (1955-1957), I find that the smoke units that were installed some 60 years ago, still work like new. This model is very rare, and somewhat unique in the fact that only 25 were built between 1955 and 1957. It has excellent detail for such an early model, however, still only has the rear drivers powered, indicating it's manufacture date of between 1955 and 1958, however, the 1958 run was marked as "Signature Model", while this one is not. This model is stamped #5 on several of the large parts. It was also equipped with working lights at either end and a red light under the fire box to simulate the glow from a hot fire box. Amazing work was done by these early brass craftsman. Coincidentally, there were only 25 of the prototype Big Boy engines produced between 1941 and 1944, of which, only 8 survive. Engine 4014 is currently under restoration to full operation by the Union Pacific Historical Society.

分解してこの初期handbuiltの天賞堂モデル（1955から1957）の部品の洗浄した後、私はいくつかの60年前に設置された煙の単位は、まだ新しいように動作することを見つけます。このモデルは、しかし、まだだけでは1955年との間の製造日です示す、電源を入れ、リアのドライバを持っている、非常にまれな、そして唯一の25は、1955年から1957年これは、初期モデルのための優れたディテールを持っている間に建設されたという事実にややユニークですこの1つはない間1958は、しかし、1958年のランは、「シグネチャーモデル"としてマークされていました。このモデルは、大部分のいくつかの＃5を刻印されています。また、ホット火災ボックスから輝きをシミュレートするために、終了、火災のボックスの下に赤色光のいずれかでライトの作業を備えていました。アメージング作業はこれらの初期の真鍮の職人によって行われました。
Nach der Demontage und Reinigung der Teile dieser frühen handbuilt Tenshodo Modell (1955-1957), finde ich, dass die Raucheinheiten , die vor 60 Jahren installiert wurden, immer noch wie neu funktionieren. Dieses Modell ist sehr selten, und in gewisser Weise einzigartig in der Tatsache, dass nur 25 wurden zwischen 1955 und 1957. Es verfügt über hervorragende Detail für so frühen Modell gebaut hat jedoch nach wie vor nur die hinteren Treiber versorgt, was es ist das Herstellungsdatum der zwischen 1955 und 1958 ist jedoch die 1958 Lauf wurde als "Signature Model" gekennzeichnet, während dieses ist nicht. Dieses Modell wird gestempelt # 5 auf mehreren der große Teile. Es wurde auch mit Arbeitsscheinwerfer an jedem Ende und ein rotes Licht unter dem Feuerraum, um den Schein von einem heißen Feuerraum zu simulieren ausgestattet. Erstaunliche Arbeit wurde von diesen frühen Messinghandwerker getan.

This piece was built around an earthenware former.
A white clay with added grog was used to create the texture.
