LDS010. BR ex- LMS Ivatt 'Black Five' 4-6-0 Loco and Tender No. 44797. In lined BR black with late crest and shedplate 63A Perth. Fitted with a separate dome and topfeed and paired with a Stanier welded tender. This is a substantial model, kit or scratchbuilt (or a combination of the two) and fitted with what looks like a Canon or very similar motor, heavy duty worm and wheel drive, solid cast wheels, and with excellent cab detail and crew. The model is lightly used. The prototype was into service from Horwich Works in September 1947 probably going new to Perth where it seems to have spent its whole life up to withdrawal in September 1966. If you search the web for ‘Black Five 44797’ there is a superb colour picture of it at Stirling in 1965 on railtour duty. PRICE REDUCTION TO £895.
