Key Features & Specifications Brand: Tri-ang Railways / Tri-ang Hornby Model / R-Number: R152 Scale/Gauge: OO Gauge (1:76 Scale) Wheel Configuration: 0-6-0 Livery: British Rail (BR) Blue Running Number: D3035 Control System: 12V DC Analogue Country of Origin: Made in Great Britain Condition & Service Report Mechanical Status: Tested Runner. The internal motor mechanism is functional and the locomotive successfully moves forward and backward. However, it runs a bit heavily and definitely needs a mechanical service (cleaning the armature, fresh oil, and cleaning the wheel pick-ups) to restore its signature powerful pulling performance. Cosmetic Condition: Fair Play-Worn Condition. This model shows its age with various surface scuffs, play-wear marks, and slight fading to the plastics/decals. The paintwork has character from years of track use, and this realistic aesthetic is fully reflected in our low asking price. Please check the photos carefully to verify the status of the steps, buffer beams, and tension-lock couplings. Packaging: Unboxed. It does not come with its original cardboard box. It will be wrapped safely in layers of thick bubble wrap and dispatched in a sturdy cardboard box to prevent any movement or damage during transport. Priced to Clear! If you are looking for an affordable, authentic vintage British Rail shunter to populate your sidings or a fun little engine to clean up and restore on your workbench, this is an absolute bargain.
