HELLO AND WELCOME, PLEASE KINDLY READ BEFORE YOU BUY, AS THIS NOTICE AFFECTS SHIPPING TIMES

I am a airline pilot working parts of the week away from home. Because of this, I would like to say that the dispatch times could be as much as 4 days (worst case scenario)

Because I am often in foreign countries, Whatsapp is the best way to contact me if I do not answer the phone straight away. Alternatively please send a text message and I will call you back as soon as I can 0-7581384661

If there is any issue with the shipping or any other service provided, please call Anton on 0-7581384661. If no answer, do not be alarmed, as obviously my phone is not on at any time during my flights

Occasionally I set my eBay status to "Seller Currently Away". Please note that this means that during the period listed, no one will be able to process the items purchased. I will still try and keep communications going so that you know what is happening with your purchases. Please use the due back date as the first day you can expect items to be processed

Hello and welcome to this listing of a beautiful Aristocraft G Gauge FA1 Locomotive in Santa Fe "Warbonnet Scheme"

The loco is in extremely good condition and although having been run, shows very little signs of use

All direction external lights work. Currently set up for track power, but these come ready as standard to be fitted with Fossworks or Brian Jones RC or just use as track powered as it comes. This come with smoke units fitted but this bit in untested

The loco looks superb and just like the any Aristocraft locomotive, has immense pulling power. All railing, and detailing seems to be present and in tact. The couplers are in a bag and screws are present (please see photos) 

The loco fitted with standard Aristocraft knuckle couplers

The loco has the original cardboard and polystyrene box insert with paperwork 

If collecting I can show you my other Aristocraft locomotives with full RC and DCC sound conversion. It is a worth while conversion doing this. I have not tested the smoke unit but assume working. I would say that this is probably one of the most powerful Gauge 1 locomotives around (class 66 and Dash 9). A single loco can pull over 20 brass coaches and or probably twice that if wagons (I have videos to prove the mighty power). The bodywork is generally in great condition, a little dusty in places but looks supurb. There may be the odd scratch here and there but nothing of note or any major significance

These were produced in a limited run and Aristocraft do not make them anymore to my understanding, although a german counterpart might be. Highly collectible and often the pride of any collection of garden trains. 

I would like to say that I am a real hobbyist and enthusiast of model railways. I love to chat about garden railways and locomotives, although do not pretend to know all that their is. I am very happy to talk on the phone about any of the items that I have for sale, and if you would like to look and anything in particular before purchase, this is most welcome and the kettle will be on, please get in touch

Please see my other listings for more G Gauge and Gauge 1 locomotives and stock

I know how frustrating it is to see what you want on ebay but have the seller unwilling to post. So what I will say is; 

This is a rather expensive locomotive and I will happily pack up and post, but this will be a little expensive due to insurance and requirement to send next day service to minimise handling time and possible breakage. 

If you are unsure on anything, it is probably best to give me a message or call first

 Postage: If this is posted, it is purely at the buyers risk and I will not accept responsibility for damaged goods during transit. Please note that you buy accepting these terms. Could also possibly meet somewhere for some fuel/mileage money

Please note that items such as the brass track, buildings, wood decking or anything else shown in photos but not listed above is not included in this sale

Any postage will be fully insured and I will choose the most appropriate company at the time of sale as strikes and other things seem to be affecting certain services

I am a member of V.A.M.E.S model engineering society in Aylesbury should anyone like to see the loco in person

Please message me if you need any more photos

Any questions, please email me or call Anton on: 0-7581384661
