New, unused, kit built LGB loco? - I don't think so!

This claims to be a new, unused kit built LGB loco.
It looks to me more like a v used mongrel.

Hmm I see when I dug further that he does in fact say that it is used!! - and how!

Really? You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure this one out. Look at the skates!

Interesting that the Stainz block doesn't have traction tyres. Given the LGB model number on the base of the block, does this suggest it's a vintage chassis? Is that a good or not so good thing?

Don't know much about Stainz but I do know the vendor's pricey strategy is beyond my pocket.

It doesn't help they're asking 149 for something that even I can see is only worth 49 ???
