According to Ramsay's British Model Trains Catalogue D210 Empress of Britain was made in 1978,a class 40 1Co-Co1 diesel in BR green which looks to be what is advertised. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he has copied the details and edited it incorrectly. Afraid I've done that myself from time to time when listing a lot if items. Looks to me like an honest mistake. My guess is that he has both a 45 and a 40 for sale. I'm not after either myself, but if I were I would send him a message on ebay and ask. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not difficult to do, and if the guy is a knick knack dealer who's not into model railways surely its the obvious thing to do. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although unlikely to be rust, as Lima wheels were brass. Better off to sell as a batch of 4 wagons or similar. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
