NOTE: This is a last item offer. It comes with a couple of issues and no returns are allowed on this item, period. It CAN run ok, but takes someone who knows how to manipulate an AZL locomotive.

Issues:
1. Missing sunshade on one side of the cab. The issue was reported to AZL immediately upon receipt at z.scale.hobo in May 2025, but no replacement was ever shipped.
2. Loose circuit board - locomotive is known to function, it passed QC runs at AZL's distributor in April 2025, passed a test run at z.scale.hobo upon receipt in May 2025, passed a test run at z.scale.hobo last month Feb 2026 and it is now back in our stock (returned) due to non-function at a customer who was understandibly unwilling to even attempt to revive it. Per the distributor: "(all units in this batch) were test run, QC'd, PCBs re-set as needed, etc before we shipped them ... But I also know the PCBs can move in transit. It is a well known issue." So there you have it - a well-known issue. Sorry but I cannot revive this item any further as it's been revived several times already.

This is a special price offer on the last 62402 for quite some time. No returns for this item. Thanks.

z.scale.hobo offers two different pricing levels to better compete against other dealers and to offer a better backed product option for those who are more interested in being supported in case something goes wrong.

UNTESTED: We will not test the locomotive at z.scale.hobo, instead we simply pass it to you without any manipulations. Any issues with the locomotive will be under standard AZL warranty and we cannot help you with return shipping in case of defects or troubleshooting efforts. For issues, basic troubleshooting tips will be offered with no possibility return. Tips such as "try burning in the locos a bit longer," "manipulate copper pickup strips yourself," dead units - "re-adjust circuit board yourself." In case of return back to AZL, you will need to pay for the label yourself. Even broken couplers are not cause for return, but will be warranted - you will have to replace on your own. Mis-matched speed with other similar units or other AZL units is not cause for return.

TESTED: We test run the locomotive, we expose any basic faults and inform you ahead of time, fixing what we can. We also post a YouTube video of your locomotive on its final test run before we ship it to you. In case of defects upon receipt, we send you a pre-paid label to send the unit back to us for repair/refurbishment if necessary. Units are not tested for speed matching and returns are not allowed for this issue.
