Bought from GRS in Princes Risborough, around 17 years ago, the loco was ready to run. The motor chassis is made by Bachmann, while the body was a made up kit, which was attached at the time of purchase.
Also, it came fitted with a smoke stack, so I purchased a few small bottles of Pola oil. The effect was really good and added an extra dimension to the proceedings, as the smoke trailed behind the loco.
It was used on LGB track, mainly indoors and then, once my son reached the age of Playstations and computers etc. it was put back in my display cabinet. Now, as I begin considering future interests, my attention returns to garden railways, so I wanted to post this and see if this type of loco is still available. Who knows, if it is, I might be interested in buying another one!
