Wrong again.... It was a Hornby model of the loco, 2857 in black livery, released in the early/mid '90s (no idea of the 'R' number and nor do I care), and came with a heated element inside the funnel.... They even marketed it as such.... You had to add the 'special smoke oil' from Hornby in the funnel with a dropper for it to burn (which it did with a rather curious, but nice smell).... Except that it had a tendency to overheat and spit the stuff out, causing a mess, and it eventually started to leak (It also had an orange light in the firebox, which was less problematic as you can imagine).

Black was NOT the best colour for a loco to be advertising it!

It was nice whilst it lasted I guess....

It was £65.00 from the old Beatties in Clydebank, so sounds about right....

Getting a little better lookswise..... Except, the number is wrong! :

..... Ah, that's better!:

Early BR Crest, so wouldn't be numbered 2876.
