Looking for some Fleischmann spares, and having been waiting since March for a dealer to come back to me with a price, I saw a "Spares or Repair" listing, on that auction site, for the model I was after spares for, which I won for under £30 including postage; as the seller said it didn't run, on testing it showed a dead short, disconnected loco from tender drive, motor runs fine, dropped chassis out from body, tested dead short,  removed the headlight bulb, sorted, a new motor would cost £41! 

Needs a bit of lubrication as the loco wheels don't run as freely as they should,  so I'll now use this chassis instead of the one I needed the spares for.  Result!

Cheers MIKE

Result is the right word Mike. A good buy that's for sure.
