DESCRIPTION:
Manufactured in England by Hornby and first released in 1976 this 6 wheeled Closed Van is in mint condition. Having learned their lesson with the constant derailing of the old Dublo Brake Van which was the first six wheeler to be released, Hornby started to produce six wheelers with floating centre wheels. This free side to side movement gave the coach or wagon stability when travelling through sharp curves.

This Palethorpes van benefits from such a system.

The model is ex shop stock.

BOX:
The box is also in very good condition. All flaps are present and front perspex clear and free from splits.

NB: Our grading system was obviously created for Die-cast models and is occasionally applied to others (plastic vehicles, locomotives, rolling stock, etc.) to help give an indication of an items condition or comparison against a new one of the same type. In these instances it can only be used to compare appearance and not operational suitability.
