Condition

Repair required. See notes.

As pictured. Isolated standard HO wheels, not the old trix with deep flanges. Nice looking item, but alas, someone has taken on a project beyond their skills. Holes have been bored either end under the chassis, to fit profi couplers. One side seems to have worked out, the other is missing any fitting mechanism, the profile coupler is present but loose. To make matters worse the body and chassis appear to have been glued together making it difficult to inspect what the internal mechanism should look like, without damage.  I would recommend this either be stripped for spares or a skilled person undertake the repair this once beautiful piece deserved. Also note each middle under rail is present but is snapped in the middle.

Regarding price

Thanks to the ever depreciating value of the Rand these items are becoming harder to locate at a reasonable price. The cost to import is increasing almost daily. If you want it, buy it because next time around it may be twice the price.
