French Hornby O Gauge Etoile du Nord Loco & Tender This magnificant train was made in Paris after the war. It was the top of the range of Hornby France train models. It features a light that shines through the front and chimney (photo 3), brass handrails and autoreverse or manual reverse operation The Hornby Etoile du Nord (Star of the North) was a realistic model of an actual streamlined locomotive that ran on the French network (photo 2). This version can be reversed either manually using a lever on the side of the loco (photo 5) or remotely with a 20 volt AC transformer. The loco gets it power from the centre rail via 2 pick-ups (photo 8) The loco is in very good condition with no missing parts. There are a few scratches and some touched-up paint loss on the loco cab on one side (photo 10). There is a small indentation on one side of the tender (photo 4). The loco works perfectly in both directions and the light works also. All alloy wheels are fatigue free on both loco and tender I ship worldwide - please ask for cost if outside Europe I have lots of other French Hornby including stations and track for extending your layout - please visit my shop Don't forget all my items are covered by ebay buyers protection policies Any questions - please ask !
