Lima 205179 Class 50 Diesel " Glorius" plus 3 Intercity Mk2 Coaches
The Class 50 was built by English Electric at the Vulcan Foundry between 1967 and 1968. A total of 50 were built and were employed hauling express passenger services along the unelectrified northern section of the West Coast Main Line between Crewe and Scotland. Post-electrification, the locomotives were moved to the South-West of England. They received the nickname "Hoovers", due to the distinctive sound of their dynamic braking system. The class was steadily retired in the 1980s and 1990s as second generation DMUs took over their services. However, a few examples of the class recently returned to service in the late 2010s with GBRf.
This engine is in excellent condition throughout. It has had a full service and been fully tested.. The three coaches are all Hornby examples and in good running order.
The engine is in its original box, the coaches are unboxed
