railsquid Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 The advert says this is in 'excellent boxed condition' - in that case I'm just popping up to Specsavers as there is clearly something wrong with my eyesight! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bachmann-OO-GAUGE-32-152-N-CLASS-BR-BLACK-EARLY-2-6-0-LOCOMOTIVE-31813-/201436800836?hash=item2ee691a744:g:ds4AAOSwVL1WBQ3I One assumes "boxed" here does not refer to the packaging, rather to its experiences in a pugilistic environment.
