These were usually rebuilt from orders returned from France after the WW2, rebuilt with new engines (50hp or 60hp), new cabs and then sold as new to UK buyers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version often worked on lightly laid tracks on sand quarries and examples now run on the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway, Apedale Light Valley Railway and Gold Valley Light Railway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular model commissioned by a customer who was looking to add examples of the locos used on their local WW2 gun range to his O gauge railway.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe first photo is of an example of the item as you will receive it.
