I bought this model at the weekend and was told it was 2/3 years old. It appears to be the latest version of this loco (from 2017?) but looking at the Hornby service sheet HSS 438B (April 2018) it does not have that design of bogie.

The accessory pack was open and appeared to have some parts missing (no flanged pony wheel) and I am not sure it is correct for this model. I have ordered pack X8007. Is that correct?

So can anyone kindly  tell me when this model was produced?  If it was one of the first revised models I note that in the catalogues for 2019/20 (I do not have catalogues before 2019) Montrose and Gloucester have the latest bogies and more detailed front frames.

R3195 was one of the last models sold by Hornby before the first of the most recent tooling R3555 Sir William Stanier,   as I recall. I have one and it's an impressive lovely model.

 

Being of the sloping smokebox early crest it might be quite rare now,
