Bought from auction recently, the model was not in working order and had only been used for display. The wiper pickups, collecting current from the driving wheels were creating serious shorts on the splashers. Those pickups have now been discarded and replaced with wipers on the tops of the tender wheels. The model now performs superbly and on test at the Poachers track in Lincoln, she was able to haul six bogie coaches with ease. Good going for a 4-4-0.
