Hornby Rails G.100 Stephensons Rocket Live Steam 3.5 inch Gauge Locomotive

3.5 inch gauge. or gauge 1

Preowned, in very good condition.  Produced for 2 years only by Hornby  in 1979/80 to Commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Liverpol to Manchester Railway

Model Untested,  but complete with the rare butane gas canister intact and replacements for seals are available, via ebay.  Large 1:16 scale live steam rendition of Stephenson’s famous creation.

Appears complete and undamaged,  some rusting and paint flaking on the chimney crown easily touched up with white gloss paint , and it’s supports as well as axles, so it has been previously steamed but not much from what we can see, has been on display in a glass case for many years before it came into our ownership.

The yellow paint is relatively intact and surprisingly not faded.  Wheels move freely with compression still in the cylinders,  Couplings are hook and loop types.

A very common and age related issue with these models are the rubber seals in the gas cannister perish as does the one on the water hose but still easily available on ebay .

Models are unboxed, will be properly packed for postage.    A heavy and large model, will cost accordingly.

Model condition 8/10   Box condition n/a comes in its part foam insert only to support the loco.  NOTE UNTESTED SO SOLD AS DESCRIBED. Copy of the Instructions are with the Model as well

This model comes with a 2ft piece of Plastic track to display it on, we do have about an extra 60ft of track available at our shop if needed including a few points.
