It runs very well. There's a lot of clearance around the crank pins but the axles are geared together.

As the original discussion was 4 years ago, I would guess they have long since sold out.

Cheers,

Handsome loco, but the quartering looks a bit out. I suspect it will run like a three-legged dog.

Cheers,

This one arrived today.



Dapol are selling these off at £65+p&p, but only DC and only in this livery. I thought I'd better grab one whilst I could. Next job is to see if it works and run it in.

Have fun,

Ali

No longer showing on rails website. Have they all sold out ? or just withdrawn.
I have one thats surplus to requirements that i was going to carve up for a side project but if theyve all gone the second hand prices will start climbing again.

I've had nothing but good dealings with Osborns in years past. Yes, the response to emails might have been sluggish sometimes, but the good old phone call was always received with a cheery reply and action.

Tonight's offerings are:-

Farish N class with a fishy engineers train composed of (from the loco) Shark, Grampus x 4, Sturgeon x 3, Mermaids x 2 and another Shark. Surprisingly with 3 different manufacturers they all remained coupled for every circuit :o

Hi Roy,
     Thanks for your advice. I probably will put it on Ebay as someone will be pleased with it.
