I have just become the ownerof a Triang Baltic Tank loco R56, and wondered if any one can help with 2 requests? the first being, when was it made? this example i have has the old triang logo on the side of the tanks, and the running number 4830 set in a red oval disc on the side of the coal bunker, and has the origional triang open ended couplings, but is missing the rear headlamp.
And secondly, the plastic body is slightly distorted, was this a common problem with these, the tank sides have moved inwards, the cab roof is slightly depressed, and the front buffer beam has turned up, there are no cracks or other damage to it, is it possible to rectify these faults?
