Description: the seki6000 was side unloading 4 axle wagon of which 1509 were modified from seki3000s in 1968 by JNR in house manufacturing centers to increase operating speed to 65 kph......capable of carrying 30 ton of coal, the cars were re assigned mainly to the hokkaido region, japan's coal producing center.....the upgraded wagons lasted in service until 1998, as japanese coal became increasingly uncompetitive. i acquired this set as part of a 6 set purchase from a private party who asseverated that the wagons were unused - purchased for visual display only.........upon arrival, the collector's claim had the ring of verisimilitude as clean wheel sets and pristine bodies characterized all of the 12 cars.........this set had a slightly perceivable flaw in the packaging: a slight discoloration in the inner retention tray, probably attributable to ultraviolet exposure, as the set's release date was 2002.......the flaw is aesthetic only; the integrity of the packaging is not compromised...... the only accessories for the set are the brake and unloading wheels whose installation can be abetted with the printed instruction in japanese and the pictures on the inside surface of the paperboard liner for the jewelry case...... the original owner had also manufactured gravel simulating wagon loads for all 12 cars; their dimensional consistency and therefore their fit in each wagon is problematic......I will include 2 with the set's shipment if a new owner elects to utilize them......
