The set was manufactured in Q3 2005 and the loco was only steamed once following the initial purchase.
Although it cannot be described as “new” this is as close as you can get to a new model.
All the accessories are unused. The transformer will be PAT tested before sale. There is some very slight damage to one corner of the box that has been repaired – see photo
This set could be a great purchase for either the collector or enthusiast alike
The loco can be serviced by the club at the purchaser’s request and will come with the OOLS Club Promise 3 month warranty
Caution!
This brand new loco was actually manufactured around 20 years ago. During manufacture all the moving components would have been lubricated so this oil is also around 20 years old.
Steam oils are primarily mineral oils with additives to prevent the oil from thinning excessively as it heats up. Over time (around five years) these additives can break down and this means that with age, the mineral oil will lose its viscosity (thickness). If a lubricant is too thin the lubricating film may not be thick enough to prevent friction and this can result in moving parts no longer wanting to move. The wheels will feel a bit like they have been ‘glued’ together and this can prevent the loco from running.
This issue is easily resolved by stripping and cleaning the moving parts and fitting new ‘O’ rings to restore the loco to its former glory.
The loco can be serviced by the Club at the purchaser’s request and would be given the OOLS Club Promise 3 month warranty
