The silver trim looks very precise and does not appear to have the correct 'texture' in the photographs.

So there is one strike. I don't own this, but am thinking about trying to get it.

This specimen comes from a railway layout.The grille & bumper seems super-detailed.I would carefully look at the axle crimps and the length of the axles if interested.

I would agree with the above comments. The seller does sell some harder to find Matchbox, but this model is a re-list with the same start, so I would certainly enquire further if you are very interested.
