I would say it's a repaint and renumber. The boiler bands and lining were printed on not transfers. Also the emblem on the tender looks wrong .one looks to be off set to the center wheels of the tender and the other emblem is slightly squiffy. Cab number looks like the 6 is not quite rightly positioned.but this could be camera angle or ...my old eyes lol.
Hi mate, I remember buying one brand new,it cost £50 .it was always a jerky runner..I liked it ..it looked good on the layout ..the tender will need to be weighted or it will derail .they look well weathered...had to fix the tender coupling it broke off for some reason...the front bogie tends to derail over points...was a good model for its time.okay mate thanks another good video..... Colin.
Hi Roland👋. I honestly couldn’t tell you. The model in question has since left the fleet and was replaced otherwise I would have had a inspection to clarify further 👍

Cheers Colin. Thank you for the advice 👍
I'm sure that this is a resprayed black 31-551 as I have one and it doesn't have transfers.
