All were given two-word names, the first word being "Western" and thus the type became known as 'Westerns'. Trix was one of the first to make the Class 52 model which was in 3-8mm scale starting in 1965 and it is still a very attractive model today. It has been part of my personal collection of British outline locos and equipment for over 30 years and is in excellent condition for its age. No broken or missing parts, although I carried out a minor repair to one of the buffer heads which I've tried to show in the photo. It was made by Liliput for Trix in the UK. It has been in storage for most of the past 15-20 years; recently serviced and runs very well, with operational lights at both ends. The box is in very good condition for its age although the plastic liner is showing cracks and wear. Comes with the original extra headcodes. Please examine the photos carefully and contact me if you have any questions. Now downsizing and selling my collections and this is the next to go.
