From my own collection, as are all the models I’m selling.
This is the Modelfair Limited Edition, factory weathered, Clayton Class 17 diesel no. D8599.
I bought this new on 24 April 2009 from Modelfair and have the original receipt.
Model is in mint condition, I don’t have a layout so the only time it’s been run is on the very limited occasions I took it down to the local club to give it a spin on the layout there in its early years. The rest of the time it’s been kept boxed & stored in a room in the house which has no smokers & no pets.
Tested today and in good working order, runs very smoothly if not very fast, but that was normal for this model, albeit a little noisier than I remember it used to be, but it hasn’t been out of its box for a least 7 years. Will no doubt benefit from a drop of lubrication.
It comes in its original box with paperwork including the maintenance leaflet (not shown in pics), and the Limited Edition certificate no. 118 of 250.
Buffer beam detailing fitted at both ends, with a narrow tension lock coupling at one end. A bag with the snowplough bits is included, and a sheet of headcodes.
The lights all work fully in both directions, it has forward & reverse lights, and headcode box lights, all of which work when power is applied & their intensity depends on the controller setting.
Will be very well packaged, as are all my items.
UK only sale.
