This falls into the ‘could not resist’ category. I purchased this Loco off that famous auction website and very good it is. The construction of this Connoisseur Kit is excellent and even although the paintwork is only relatively good, it will not be a problem as I will repaint it into BR black livery.

It will be numbered as a local, East Anglian engine, if possible as one that run on the Waveney Valley Line.
