I got a 'Brand New' ... apparently ... Hornby Q1 from Facebook Market Place. was it Brand New???

Pull both sides of the poly wrapping and the loco pops out of the packing, easier than risking damaging the loco or tender.

@@twiggacott i actually thought exactly that when I watched that part back... why on earth did I not think of that at the time 😂🤣 silly me 🤪😆

@stephendavies6949 thanks Stephen, that's a great way to describe it, Yes an absolute gem! I'm very happy with it

What a great marketplace find! Pleased to see it running sweetly after the running-in. Looks great pulling its wagons on those long sweeping curves. Great job Gar!

[@Platform21mr]

@OODuo stoked with it hey, still pinching myself that I found it just on FB! Thanks Gaz, yeah it looks great with a rake of wagons... I'll grab a few more next time I'm in the model shop for her to pull 😁

That's a great addition to your fleet of locos, Gareth. It looks great running on your layout...cheers James 🙂👍

@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY thanks James. I agree, I'm really happy with it and very happy it's part of my collection now 😊
