This is Hag model 139 bought about 10/12 years ago. It was converted to digital with a Lenz decoder, but this has given a “light” problem.
When driven with the 2 wheel pony truck (Hag driver in the cab) two headlights are illuminated, but three when function 2 is pressed. No rear light illuminates. When driven with the four wheel pony truck leading, I can only make two lights illuminate and again no rear light.
The function to collect current from the pantograph’s has been discontinued. The lighting problem should be able to be sorted by someone more skilled than myself. Having said that if you operate it with the two wheel truck leading and with wagons/coached behind the absence of a rear light is hardy noticeable.
The reason for selling is that I have bought the Piko model of the same locomotive and this was cheaper and more detailed. However my Hag model is Swiss and handmade. It has a metal body and chassis and although the motor is noisy (typical Hag), it runs very well. Hag never included a “detail pack” and you will see it has no buffer beam detail and does not have “nem” sockets, again typical Hag. To remove the body you need to disconnect the speeder cable from the drive as it says in the instructions which are in the box. I have glued it on as the plastic plug provided was useless. The box has one minor scuff on one corner. Sorry to be so detailed but I wanted to be as honest as I could. With the above proviso it is a lovely model and being metal, with traction tyres, could pull many wagons/coaches. The paintwork by the way is excellent.
