Like all the Railroad range, here we have a real bargain -a super looking Class 9F model for just £60!  It has a loco mounted can motor which drives through a gear tower concealed in the firebox. This drives the second from the rear set of drivers and the gear tower is completely invisible. The rest of the mechanism appears to be from the 1999 chassis. The surprise is in the tender where, at first, you think you have a tender-mounted ringfield motor, but then realise that it is only the motor housing from when the model was tender-driven. Things like copper painted pipes and painted cab interior detail are missing but it is still an attractive looking model and an ideal addition to the budget range.
