Lot 51 - 1929 Hornby 0 gauge French No.1 special loco

1929 Hornby 0 gauge French No.1 special loco, in GWR green livery, UK-liveried loco, sold in France, with French trademarks, despite not being listed for sale in the French catalogues, one of only a small handful of this type of loco known to exist. The loco differs from the English version due to the red-outlined early trademark sticker on the right-hand side of the loco, and the Made in England sticker on the base. Because at this period, loco and tender were sold separately, it is believedthat no tenders of this type, bearing the red-outlined French trademark sticker, exist, and would benefit from being paired with an English version of this tender, as shown on page 141 of Chris Graebe's Hornby Trains in France book. The loco is in excellent condition and is unboxed.
