This is what came ...


It was said to be a runner - yeah, right ...

Reduced to its major components - I applied power to the motor, but nothing happened, and the wheels take a bit of force to get them to rotate ...

I can't make out why the power lead from the pickups is attached to a piece of tubing, then to the chassis, and then to the lead to the motor ...

... and the pickups seem to have been moved from the central hole to the off-set, so that neither makes a very positive contact with the wheels ...
Ah, those wheels. I thought that I'd try to make it into an outside-framed loco, for a laugh, and I found 4 Romford wheels of a suitable size in the bits box - I think they've been there since the late 1980s. I then spent slightly more than the loco cost on some Roxey Mouldings extended axles and Markits Delux outside cranks - I must find out how they're all supposed to go together ...

Hours of fun ...
