This really nice HO gauge loco by Roco is 43282 a Royal Bavarian BBII steam locomotive in black livery, it has running number 98715. 


The Bavarian Class BB II engines were Mallet type, saturated steam locomotives in the service of the Royal Bavarian State Railways (Königlich Bayerische Staats-Eisenbahnen).


They were specially designed for branch lines with tight curves and supplied in two series. The first series comprised 29 engines and was built between 1899 and 1903. The other two machines were delivered in 1908 to the state railway and were somewhat longer and heavier than the other locomotives.


Although the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft took over all the vehicles in 1925 as DRG Class 98.7, all bar three were retired during the 1930s due to their unsatisfactory riding performance. The last three engines were used after 1940 as industrial locomotives.


The loco is in excellent condition as you can see in the pictures, it is tested and runs (no lights are present), a complete external visual inspection has shown the overall condition is very good. It comes complete with its box. The box is in good but perhaps a bit shelf worn condition. 


Overall this is a really nice scale locomotive and would look fantastic on a layout.


Do please have a look at my other listings, I typically have various HO and OO locos on offer as well as an extensive range of imported N gauge locos and other items. 


Note: I do recommend all locos are cleaned & serviced, as they have some age to them even if the quality looks at the highest level (fairly standard advice for all locos!).
