Notes
1st issue example with open wheel arches, fawn finish with matching wheels, small baseplate print with rails and the rear axle is secured by means of a tinplate clip.Rarely handled with scarcely any marks to the paint finish.
Very fresh and bright baseplate.
Several tiny marks as you would expect for a model of this age and a few very hard to see little retouches.
A little rough casting on the roof.
