Kirdon Electric Ltd Ref: KIR10002
Kirdon, Mainline Diesel Electric Co-Co Locomotive, No.10000 in British Railways black livery lined in silver with the early lion-over-wheel crest. This was a ready-to-run loco from Kirdon, based in Hanwell, London. And it's quite an amazing job too. It has heavy diecast bogies with a centre rail pick-up, and a motor - which incredibly is in working order - that has a sort of band operation, which takes the power from the motor down to a shaft in the bogie. A very unusual arrangement - I wouldn't like to take one to pieces. To modernise: the paint job and finish are a bit lumpy - but that's the way they were. The model is fitted with Hornby Dublo style couplings. It is in marvellous condition - probably as good as you could hope to find with a loco of this complexity, fragility and vintage. I would grade its condition as B+. It comes in a delightful original Kirdon box, which has the name of the loco at one end, and when the lid is opened there is a black and white illustration of the model and details of the prototype such as weight, tractive effort etc. It's a great example of a truly difficult-to-find model. Box condition is B.
