Appears in fairly good overall condition, displaying some expected surface wear, marks and scratches. Most of the wheels do rotate but there are some repairs and replacement wheels. Each wagon and most wheels are part hallmarked with the lion passant and Foreign mark. Five wheels are not marked, these are likely replacements and do not rotate as easily or not at all. A further replacement wheel to the engine at the front as it bears hallmarks for Walker & Hall, Sheffield. A repair to a hallmarked wheel on the middle wagon and it no longer rotates. One of the hallmarked wheels on the rear wagon is quite loose. The engine displays full hallmarks. All hallmarks are mostly clear and legible. The Hanau marks are located to the underside of the engine and of each wagon.
