Here are a selection of recently sold items.
With the early open type coupling at rear and damaged later closed coupling at front without hook with print fading to numbers on one side. The front bogie fixing screw is not the original. Bodywork has broken cab step and damaged body in the same area otherwise complete elsewhere and tested and a good runner. Overall fair B- appearance in its original box having some wear and without paperwork good B
This Hornby Class 9F loco with tender drive in its original R861 Evening Star box has had an Airfix Class 9F loco kit body fitted to the loco and tender all in original Airfix unpainted black ready to detail and number. The fit is good and the loco has arguably a resulting better profile with the Aifix body. The pipe detail section under the cab is included but not fitted and is to be fitted by the new owner as required. Loco does have a mint A appearance as it is in a mint A box with instrcutions dated 1974. This loco requires a minimum of radius 2 curves to run. The test track oval has radius 1 curves so the track test is of this loco shunting forwards and backwards along the short straight section.
In mint condition tested and in full working order including safety cut out bulb. I've not seen an example as good as this before. Complete with promotional leaflet without instructions in an excellent B+ box and includes 2 terminal pins. Very nice for the collector who wishes to operate with original equipment.
UK buyers only for this item please as it is over 2kg in weight and is too heavy to ship outside the UK economically. Overseas buyers can buy on the basis of the buyer paying for the shipping using a collection service.
Spring clips removed and filler neatly applied to base with base painted to match filler colour tone to create a free stand alone buffer although still with screw fixing hole. Interesting and useful modification.
Examples shown are typical of the stock all within a similar condition grade overall fair to good B-/B and no doubt with a clean the appearance can be improved.
Condition as images. For renovation.
