    I do reallise that hornby does make this model any more but I am still in great need of it, as i live in Norwich and ould like to have it on my (still not built but is planned) set.
    I did try to purchase one at christmas but the shop had run out.
    If you have any idea's to where i could get this from would be greatly appreciated.

    Just buy another B17 and swap the chassis, there only screwed in.

    The rods look a little rusty, but a fibre optic pen will deal with that.

    Odds are there's nowt wrong with it.

    Bear in mind that Hornby are re-tooling the B17 this year, so it will be a super detail model with the motor in the loco and not the tender. No doubt Norwich City will be done eventually.

    Regards,
