 Parcel
express.
Rating 6/10,Same as the class 73 in terms of running
and detail.
I know little about this model as it belonged to my late fathering law. This
model handles the same as Class 83 having same motor and build quality.
"This is a lima model of a GWR express parcels
railcar. these were built by AEC, and could, like their passenger sisters,
be set up with 3 different gear ratios, for where they had to work. This is
a later type, having boxier streamlining. Now lima cease to exist, these are
worth quite a bit, as many people would like one. It is in the GWR livery.
Some of these survived into BR ownership. There are 3 railcars in
preservation, No 4 a streamlined model at Steam in Swindon, No 20, possibly
at the KESR, and No 22 at Didcot." Thanks goes to Mr Singleton, for
providing this information.
