Model Week : HO Loco

One of the aims for the model railway this year was a HO scale locomotive to haul engineering trains on the tram line. Today that has arrived, in the form of a Lima HO scale Class 33! Lima produced this model in the late 1970s, an oddity in British outline as of course it was incompatible with the usual OO scale models. I've always wanted one ever since i saw a school friend's (at primary school) layout. Now a second hand example has been bought cheaply. It does run though is a bit hesitant, it hopefully just needs a bit of oil and cleaning.
