An older tooling as shown by the couplings, which would now qualify it as a Railroad item. It could even have tender drive, a 70s/80s feature. Definitely tender drive - traction tyres still there on the photos 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted September 9, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 9, 2022 This is classic Hattons 2h listing, wildly inconsistent and obsessed with the condition of the box rather than the contents. They will trot out the excuse, long past its sell-by, that the person dealing with 2h pricing is new and inexperienced, sometimes to the extent that one sees damaged non-runner used items for more than the new list price. This has been going on for long enough for the excuse to be clearly incorrect, and mendacious at best… 3 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had DMUs look like that whilst trying to get the body glazing to let go of the circuit board - looks very painful but luckily the chassis are all fairly robust and they spring back where they should be once the trapping hazard has been sorted. Farish engines are a bit of a b*gger to put back together after chipping - getting the lights working on a 40 or a DMU especially fun. Poor show by Hattons to leave it in that state though, surely the photographer would have noticed. Price looks steep too, is that how much they go for now, they also have a GreyFriars Bobby in large logo DCC Fitted for only 110 notes. I reckon the slow running is down to the chip settings not the motor. https://www.hattons.co.uk/906798/graham_farish_372_244_po10_class_47_7_47711_greyfriars_bobby_in_br_blue_large_logo_pre_owned_dcc_fitted_/stockdetail 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
