Model trains....G scale mainly, but enjoy all othe
Morning all
Keeping with the theme of loco wrecks comes this …….not so much of a wreck, but in need of TLC for sure. Although the loco originally had sound , the components are present but not working. The previous owner for some unknown reason fitted extra switches, cut wires etc. I can only assume ( and I am no expert) that he may of fitted battery or some such thing. The pictures will show the state of the loco…..but when tested it ran well despite being in my spares trunk for ages. Even the firebox glow worked…but no other lights. The front cow catcher has been removed …..again not by me! The loco is well heavy and I tested it at first with a small 0.5 amp transformer…it ran ok but slow. Put it in a 5amp transformer….ran a treat. Obviously the loco needs a good strip down and service and some small parts are missing.
Asking £85 to include postage in the UK mainland( parcelforce).
Next up are a couple of Aristocraft( I think) diesel loco’s…..again near wrecks but runners so watch this space folks.
