Even if noted as running well, it is always advisable to do a proper clean and lube before extensive running as dust, old lube, aged rubber, etc all need attention. Specific comments for this item follow below. Tested and running very well, very, very smooth too. With full dcc sound, lights etc. Beautiful locomotive, looks amazing! In very good condition, very little use. Note: The sound is fully working etc, but it could likely use a better speaker – the ones nowadays are 10x better, and are only like 5GBP. Possibly missing a bit from the end of the tender, im not sure. A little dusty, could use a clean and oiling aswell.
