Hornby R2483: LBSCR 0-6-0 ‘Terrier’ loco, boxed. Runs but ? needs attention

Having acquired the tooling from Dapol in 1996, Hornby introduced their model of the LBSCR class A1X ‘Terrier’ 0-6-0 tank loco in 1998, going on to produce around 20 differently numbered/liveried versions over the next ten years. This listed example of ‘Piccadilly’, no.41 of the LBSCR, was produced over the period 2005-2008.
This OO scale loco, which is not DCC-ready, is supplied in its original box without paperwork. Upon track testing the loco runs in both directions but does so with a rocking motion which suggests – to me at least – that the quartering is out and needs re-setting. Cosmetically, the loco is missing most of its front coupling (photo 9): otherwise, the condition is quite excellent. The box has some shelf wear but is in good overall condition.

VERY IMPORTANT Please note that my P & P charges below include:
(i) Ebay’s charge to sellers of 10% commission on actual P&P charges
(ii) Royal Mail price list effective 25th March 2019.

Postage & Packing (approx package weight 375g)

UK – 5 (Small Parcel Second Class Recorded)

NB UK postage only on this item

****** PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE YOU BID or BUY ******

The above service offers a level of 50 maximum compensation with tracking. I provide excellent, secure packaging using in this instance recycled plus some new packing materials, with printed address and return labels. And if payment is received by 9.00am on a working day, I post 95% of Royal Mail parcels that same day (courier services usually collect the following working day) , and send you a personal message confirming the item has been posted . This is a FIVE STAR service ! If you want greater speed and/or security (at greater cost) contact me for other delivery options BEFORE paying.

I am happy to combine items to save my time and your postage costs, where this is possible. It is NOT possible where (i) it will result in a package for posting overseas which weighs in excess of 2 kg (ii) the very nature of the items (shape/weight/fragility) being combined renders combined packaging impractical. If in doubt, check with me before you bid on/pay for different items. If you wish to purchase more than one item, it is essential that you ask me for/wait for a combined invoice (by adding items to the ebay shopping basket and, once you’ve selected all your chosen items, clicking on the ‘request total from seller’ link). Otherwise, because of the way ebay will apply 10% commission fees to P&P charges, combined postage is likely to generate lower savings than would otherwise have been the case.

Please contact me if, having bought an item/won an auction, you want to delay payment with a view to bidding on another of my items with a later end-date. I issue invoices for multiple purchases if I know you have finished bidding – if you require an invoice for a single purchase please let me know.

Finally, payment must be made in GBP. Personal cheques and postal orders are welcome from UK buyers only (please allow time for your cheque to clear). If collecting in person, cash is the expected and preferred method of payment. Regrettably overseas buyers must pay via Paypal, no other options are available.
