Its already arrived and is in awesome condition, a few marks on the 'corners' as is normal with a used loco, but apart from that the only other mark is a little stain on the grey coal cover. But that may be able to be cleaned off - what with starting my new job and fixing the last batch of dead engines I've not had a chance to look into it as its low on the triage list
The one in the broken batch looks to be in similar condition from the auction photo's but who knows I'll find out when they arrive. I do know it is complete with its coal cover though, so that's one positive
Excellent to hear. I got mine cleaned up and re-wired last evening. He actually is not that bad. The other one rally just needs the #5 stickers for the tender, which seem like there may be some available as it is just. 1/2" square black with yellow 5 on it. I found a face from an old James that fit perfect.
Glad to hear yours looks good, now one to play with and one to put up. :-)
