I purchased this locomotive to add to my collection some time ago which I am now thinning out! It has always been stored. Tested prior to advertising on eBay - it runs smoothly in both directions. Working headlights. Please note that if it is to be used on a digital layout a decoder will need to be hard wired. The loco is in exceptional condition except for some marks to one side of the tender - please see photographs. A super locomotive now looking for a new home where it can be fully appreciated.
