Nothing looks out of place, so they've probably just placed the body on for the photos

 

Wouldnt pay anywhere near what they are asking though.

The under frames look very out of shape, would look for another one myself.

Caveat Emptor! 

 

That Hattons loco is on the wrong chassis  - 25087 is a boiler fitted loco and should have water tanks see https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=25087&rlz=1C1GGGE_en-gbGB569GB631&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=QxGr1hVgbgWSoM%253A%252CfHp0I8sQjihMYM%252C_&usg=AI4_-kRr3mjVzBQf_W9j3RWO4qxmLiqTyw&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjzp7OOvcDeAhWUa8AKHUp-AJsQ9QEwAHoECAYQBA#imgrc=QxGr1hVgbgWSoM:

 

That chassis is from a no heat loco

I wouldn't go touch it with the proverbial barge-pole.

 

I've also been looking on e-bay for a 25/1 and noticed a nice, nearly new one, sold for only £44.00 on auction last week. A bargain IMHO.

 

There are still occasional bargains to be had....

44 quid now that is a bargain

I had the same model until I dropped it down the loft ladder, I swear that thing bounced off every single step! Turns out the water tank is just glued on.

And a cast resin replacement is available from Brassmasters

I have a two tone green one which I bought at a Risex show some time ago. When I took the body off to disconnect the lights I found it was a bit of a problem to get it back on again and it looked a bit like the photo until I eased it together.

 

I suspect that there’s nothing wrong it’s just that the vendor had the same issues I had.

Also the under frames are weathered and the body of the loco are clean, so i am thinking this was from another 25.

Also the hand rails are missing and i bet the detail pack is missing as well.

Note the footsteps missing from the trailing bogie as well, another common fault with pre owned class 25 models. I can't be sure but is that body from the first production run with the not deep enough front windows. The give away is the last few runs of 25 have had black painted roof vent.https://www.hattons.co.uk/82896/Bachmann_Branchline_32_408_Class_25_3_25286_in_BR_Blue/StockDetail.aspx

Although the body does have the various steam boiler roof vents. Just noticed sand pipes missing on front bogie too.
