The loco was manufactured in Q4 2005 and has never been steamed. It has only been removed from the box to display and latterly for photographing.

Unfortunately the box itself has areas of quite bad damage from many years of storage, notwithstanding all the contents are as new.

A pristine example for either the collector or enthusiast of this iconic locomotive.

Caution!

This brand new loco was actually manufactured around 20 years ago. During manufacture all the moving components would have been lubricated so this oil is also around 20 years old.

Steam oils are primarily mineral oils with additives to prevent the oil from thinning excessively as it heats up. Over time (around five years) these additives can break down and this means that with age, the mineral oil will lose its viscosity (thickness). If a lubricant is too thin the lubricating film may not be thick enough to prevent friction and this can result in moving parts no longer wanting to move. The wheels will feel a bit like they have been ‘glued’ together and this can prevent the loco from running.

This issue is easily resolved by stripping and cleaning the moving parts and fitting new ‘O’ rings to restore the loco to its former glory.

The loco can be serviced by the Club at the purchaser’s request and would be given the OOLS Club Promise 3 month warranty
