realtek Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hi, I have a hornby engine and wondered if anyone new what number etc it was. I can't find any simular on the internet or even any with Hornby written on the side but perhaps i'm searching for the wrong thing. Here is a photo:/media/tinymce_upload/060fa7e06bc4d8997ecf95cfeb39ab06.jpg Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffnut Thorston Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 One of these was sold by Vectis Auctions, November 2009.Hornby (China) a group of 0-4-0 Tank Locos comprising R2430 Hornby Railways red livery with the name "Hornby" to tank sides, http://www.vectis.co.uk/Page/ViewLot.aspx?LotId=355352&Section=159&Start=120 Even the green wheels are original!(They look like the green used on a model named "Little Wonder" I think...)

realtek Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Excellent, thank you for all your replies :) So it looks fairly rare. It's certainly a very quick runner around the track, I tested it the other day and cleaned up the wheels.Looking at the Western Australia website seems to be on there for $129, is it worth much to a collector? Although I doubt I will be selling. Just curious!Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10 Class Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 This engine is missing the rear section, which is of course the coal bunker. (With coal.)It's value will be reduced etc. (Sorry.)Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
