Y12b-2 Thomas Flyabout Preproduction(?)
Y12b-2 Thomas Flyabout Preproduction(?)
Did anyone else spot this? It disappeared very quickly!
Although the radiator grille appears to be a non-standard colour, I did wonder about the baseplate rivets. Surely that;s not standard R&D closure practice?

I just posted this on MOYBOYZ. I didn't see it before it vanished or I'd have had it for sure. The base text is the giveaway as there is no hyphen in the model number.
Shows as Y 12, whereas on production models it became Y-12.

This model had already been on eBay once and I forgot to bid, I was not going to miss it again.

I was also watching this but expected to miss it due to being away setting up and doing a toy fair Friday and Saturday. I still have it book marked to keep my eye on it!!
Well done Jason.

Added a roof and seats for display, model is pretty good apart from a broken break lever.
