Hornby R763 CR ‘Caledonian Single’ locomotive and tender *14010
This highly collectable and powerful model is the extremely hard to get hold of & very rare Hornby R763 model of the ex CR Caledonian Railway now LMS London Midland Scottish Railway steam tender locomotive ‘Caledonian Single’. The model is in mint factory fresh condition and has been shelf stored since new. It is just as good as the day it was first made and it has never seen or been on a layout. This rarely available 4-2-2 locomotive is finished in LMS maroon livery and with the correct, black spoked wheels it is absolutely stunning. This item was constructed in 1983 in the modern manner. This locomotive, numbered 14010, is just as good as the day it was first made and it would be impossible to obtain a better condition item. We removed the model from the box for the digital scan and the model has all detailing exactly as it should be. Tall chimney, gold lettering and scarlet buffer beams are just 3 of the instantly recognizable features of this item. The model is just a beautifully made evocative item. The 6-wheel none corridor smooth sided tender is in just as mint condition and is clearly marked with the 14010 RN. It does not house the motor as this version is the original locomotive powered model with the motor in the boiler area. The tender is fitted at the rear with the correct Hornby tension lock coupling. The original box is in a bright, sharp, unfaded and fully intact condition. The box is correctly labelled for the contents it protects. Inside the box the locomotive is protected by the original and undamaged, white vacuum formed surround. The cream coloured protective card sheet is also present. The original Hornby instructions numbered R763011183 remain in the box. In all respects this item is just as good and complete as you could ever wish to find and is rare to the market place.
This item predates digital control but should be an easy conversion to be DCC ready with the correct Hornby chip.
As all of our items are collectables and may have been stored for a long time, we would recommend that if the model is to be run, a light lubrication and dust removal would be appropriate ( where applicable ).
