It was a 44 ton switcher as the box confirmed.
This was inside.
Even has a driver.
So, my curiosity as to exactly what was meant by the description on the box was raised even further. Luckily the seller was on the stand and confirmed that the only thing wrong with this never run model is that he was going to use the chassis for a kit built body but that did not work out but he had cut the wires to fit a DCC chip but had never done the final work. Well that final bit of work is exactly what I would be doing to this model anyway so for the bargain price of £25 this came home with me!
Whilst actually in the show I came across the guy who does the resin prints that I bought some of at the Sleaford Mode Makers Show last year. He is expanding his range and all profits go to the Lincs Air Ambulance so a great cause to support as I told Mrs. Woody as I selected these items!
The narrow boat will go on my 009 narrow gauge layout Chalkdon.
These line side telephones will go on my 00 gauge layout.
This rather nice crane will probably also go on Chalkdon.
As will this gantry crane.
Lots more projects to complete for me then! I really should not be so curious!
