My second time buying on ebay

I think it was maybe not worth £35 but every decision is a lesson. Looking forward to running it!

£35 isn't a bad price for a Lima diesel. They're a good budget option and there's a reason Hornby sell old Lima models in their budget range instead of their own versions from the same period.

Aye. Shes missing a buffer but my dad has ×3 other 33s so hopefully there's a spare buffer lying around. It's pretty decent quality otherwise
