I've seen a Farish Standard 5 MT on Ebay. it's listed as model 372-728 with the running number 73014.Is the current model - 372-728B with running number 73026 - a new version or just a rerun?
Any help would be much appreciated, as the Ebay model looks to be in very good cosmetic condition.
Regards
Geoff
A letter suffix on the catalogue number (the 'B' in this case) denotes a subsequent run of the same model, in same livery just with a new identity. There will also have been an 'A' version in between...
Further to the above I have 372-726 black 73158 and 372-728 green 73014.
There's only ever been one model of the 5MT but with different liveries/running numbers
