Hornby/Triang Drawbar for R857 Ivatt 2-6-0

This is a shorter replacement tender drawbar to that originally fitted to the Tri-ang/Hornby R857 Ivatt 2-6-0 which allows the loco and tender to be coupled together at a closer more realistic distance.

Simply remove the original from the loco by undoing the fixing screw and replace with this item.

As supplied the drawbar is a bright metalic bronze. To make this less obvious it is recommended that it is chemically blackened  by placing it in a solution of Liver of Sulphate for a few hours.
