 MONTHS FEB NEWS

I am having a sort out of my Model Railway Stuff.

Here is a Hornby Live Steam 3½ Gauge Rocket & Coach. There is also 25ft of plastic track.

I steamed it on the 7th Jan 2008 and she went like a Rocket. I bought it in 1976 and she did some running of 10 miles at Upperby Park Carlisle.

There is a small leak on the gas bottle nozzle, but it is Ok when it is fitted to the tender.                 It uses cigarette lighter gas, available from all tobacco shops.

It is easy to operate, there are some instructions on waterproof paper, you also need some light oil, 00 or 3 in one will do.

Also a Rocket Coach which has opening doors

I tried a G gauge figure in it and he looks Ok

So if anyone is interested, I would be open to offers around £200.00.

It can be posted or Picked up, I am not sure the cost of the postage or Private courier.

It all comes in 3 boxes Rocket, Coach, and the track.
