Restoring and Reviewing the ORIGINAL Rivarossi FM C-LINER!

A few months back, I managed to get one of the rarest diesel models in HO scale, the original Rivarossi Bakelite C-LINER! This was one of the FM SM kit models made in 1952, and if I understand the history at rivarossi-memory.it correctly, only a single run of these kits was produced. In this video, I get it restored and back to running condition, and the intricacy of this original model compared to later versions is impressive!
I've decided to leave this model unpainted to preserve some of its historical value.
