Lima J50 Class 0-6-0 Steam Tank Locomotive ‘927’ LMS Red

Product Code: A01155

Availability: 1 in stock

Lima J50 Class 0-6-0 Steam Locomotive LMS Red

00 gauge

Preowned, in good condition. An odd loco, we’re unsure of it’s origin; likely from a budget level train set due to it’s simple finish and lack of windows. Good runner with the usual growly ringfield motor; just been oiled , fully servicable and long lasting.

Unusual choice of loco as its an LNER design in LMS Livery

Made in smal numbers during 1981 only to fit the Midland Express train set

Complete and undamaged with exception to the righthand side printing  on the LMS which has suffered some scuffing; all steps and ladders intact. Reasonably clean, wheels will need a polish at some point. Couplings are not NEM but are removable should you wish to do so. Not DCC ready but easy enough to hard wire for the intermediate modeller.

Box is unlikely to be original  and is suitably aged with corner and edge wear as well as a replacement window. Old price stickers remain on the end flap, from many a moon ago.

Model condition 8/10 Box condition 7/10
