This is a superb example of the rare W2264/5P Royal Scot Class "Lancashire Witch" 4-6-0 in LMS Maroon, running number 6125. Advertised by Basildon in Period 3, they actually appeared with limited production during Period 4 with only 75 produced in the 1991/1992 years before factory closure. This particular example is from 1991 build and has the Wrenn 5 pole motor fitted as standard. No 3 Pole versions were ever issued.
The Locomotive/tender comes in a late Period 4 box, including packing rings, tissue paper, Instruction Manual, and Single page Royal Scot Instruction Sheet .The bottom of the inner box is stamped "Packer No 2 91626" indicating 26th Week, 6th Month,1991 Basildon issue date.
Overall Condition of the Locomotive/tender/box is "near mint to mint " for their age.
