I showed interest in this as i just picked up the same kit with all the correct parts for £125 second hand they are £199 new! additional. having further looked at it i believe the kit is actually for an Ivatt J3 0-6-0 and in the wrong box which makes it even more expensive as the j3 is a cheaper kit than the Q1 Edited December 15, 2023 by paulmblythe 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weathering... 🤪 Apart from that its a pretty rough example. Puzzling that its got a Dublo coupling on the front and a tl one on the tender! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like part of one of those boxes of old junk recovered from a garage or garden shed, £20 the lot. You would have thought that as a trader in model railways, a quick dust would be in order. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the seller is incapable of fixing it himself, I'm sure that even paying someone to do this 'quick fix', would be worthwhile to get a better price. And what's with the apparent broken off piece under the cab? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 And why is the Incredible Hulk cabbing it? These questions must be asked! I suspect that if the two gears are not "connecting", then another is missing, may be difficult to replace and its not as simple to remedy as the vendor suggests. I may be wrong! 🙂 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
