Hornby 0 Gauge, E220 Special Tank Loco LNER No 1784, 20V Electric

            As far as I can ascertain this was made between 1934 and 1938 - its looking good for 80 years old!!
Acquired from the sale of the stunning Graham de Chastelain collection at The Benn Hall in Rugby, 22nd November 2014.
I took it to a train running evening courtesy of the Hornby Railway Collectors' Society and it runs like a dream, it is absolutely smooth at all speed - forward and reverse.
