A very nice engine Manx, and a excellent price.
I too like the colour and character of the engine, infact I like it a lot 
A very good purchase, well done.

Jeez Manx, I think it's awesome. Hard to believe it came like that when new,
surely it was finished in some color of paint? Yet, just my opinion, I like that look
better than any of the others! It looks much more realistic like that. Great buy!!

Good to hear that the base wasn't attached then  Methinks that you need a cylinder cap and cover  But then again you'd need an old one, as a new one would stand out a bit  |

That's the best Willesco TE I've ever seen Manx. Real Character.

Thanks for the comments. It's always nice when you get a model that's better than you expected. I've done well with my last couple of ebay buys. However, I guess that just makes up for the ones where things have arrived 'not quite' the way they had been described.

Yes, sorry Mike. I wasn't thinking about your green paint experiences. What's the latest update on the paint. Did it clean off with T Cut.
