Hornby OO diesel class 31 in BR blue (weathered) - now sold

[The White Rabbit]

A Hornby class 31 - R2413 - number 31270 in BR blue (weathered). Boxed, pack of detailing bits included and still sealed. It runs well. 

 

The catch is it's suffered from mazak rot (see photos below and threads elsewhere on RMW) and this has broken parts of the body. I approached Hornby to try and get it fixed and was told to get lost, I don't have the time or skills to attempt a repair so I am reluctantly offering it for sale. 

 

As above, it runs and as far as I can tell, just about everything works, lights, doors, fan, spring buffers. Apart from the mazak issue, the only fault I can see is one of the three link couplings is missing - I suspect the carpet monster got it. 

 

It was a favourite loco and has appeared in an article I wrote about a model station. However, in view of the damage, I'm asking £25 plus postage. 

 

Any questions or request for more photos, please ask (PM).
