The later models have more in the way of proper separate handrails. Also, it is missing the safety valve casing moulding....which is the solid one from the old Hornby Railways 8750 Pannier Tank loco.

At least another £20, because it's been "restored". Safety valve covers are about £1.50 at times. Just to put things into perspective, I bought an absolutely mint late version off eBay for £28 including post. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Sorry about the link, wouldn't behave. I would risk £50 on that, strip it and rebuild it. I would probably be better off starting with a new kit though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffnut Thorston Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 This does make you wonder who takes the photos at RR... Certainly an unusual way of assembling a loco...

MrWolf Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Somewhere, a two year old is sitting on the living room floor of his parents home, playing with a push along Thomas. He pauses from his imaginary world, looks up and yells: "The chimney goes at the front, dumbass!!" 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
