An opportunist purchase from Hattons. Silver Fox body on what sounds like a newish Hornby 5 pole motor.  Very smooth, quiet and romped effortlessly on 8Mk1s. I had bought an unfinished one with a Lima chassis a few months ago, but will now sell it on eBay, as this one is better than I could achieve.

 

Although it has transfers for the numbers and I had bought etched ones for the unfinished one, I think I'll leave it as it is, and sell the etched numbers on, as the transfers are neatly done and slightly smaller than the etches.

Very nice Tim. I thought about going for that but in the end decided not to. Glad it found a good home.

Sorry no, it sounds like the new Hornby 5 pole (as fitted to their rehash of Lima railcars 73s etc, but I can't easily get into it as there's a sheet of plastikard glued across the chassis between the bogies. I may have to cut that loose to gain access to fit crew though, which might give me more clues. I'll take some snaps later, when I'm in the rather warm attic.
