Lot 49 - 1929-30 Hornby 0 gauge French No.2 special

1929-30 Hornby 0 gauge French No.2 special clockwork Southern L1 loco and tender, rare French version, with French market Serie Hornby early transfers, with red borders, despite these locos never being catalogued in France, presumably because these few known examples of this loco were not well received. This loco has one of these transfers on the front of the tender, and on the footplate (overpainted), with Made in England transfers on both loco and tender. The transfer on the tender has had the wording rubbed off, but the shape is correct. Other than these transfers, the loco is identical to the English version. This loco can be seen on pages 153 and 154 of Chris Graebe's Hornby Trains in France book, and is unboxed, in very good condition.

Estimation:1.198,80€
