Thanks Ian it was. Please nick do update us on the Deltic.

Yeah, I know it's way over-scale (I got rid of my original Lima pancake motor 55 back in the 80s) but just want a can motor example just for the Lima part of my "heritage N" collection I think I've only ever seen two can motor 55s on ebay, both BR blue livery.  One went for more than my limit, the other was too "play-worn".

I wasn't aware that Lima made a can motor variant of the 55. As far as I was aware only a 31 and 86 were ever made with the later can motor chassis? If anyone can put up a picture of the can motor 55 and confirm what livery variants were made with that chassis it would be very much appreciated.

@Roy L S  the last one I saw on ebay was May last year, as I still have my messages to the seller about it.  Sadly the listing & photos are no longer available.    As I say, I've only ever seen them in blue not two-tone green.

I'd consider nick' s solution or look at dapol @Foxhound Rob

I'm pretty sure the Stone faiveley is the one sought as the cross arms were only on a selected few 86s back in the day.

Good luck fitting one if find one
