If its new, it probably came in the original box and packaging; this isn't an item that somebody would go to such trouble to counterfeit. BUt you could also go to the Bachmann site and compare their images with your model. <br /> <br />As others say, shays were meant to go slowly and the Bachmann model (I have one, I'd say it would top out at around 30 scale mph although I haven't run it at full throttle) faithfully re-creates the gearing which is the reason it goes so slowly. <br /> <br />But you'll also find that your model shay will out-pull any conventional model steamer of similar size.
