Hornby time for me too !

A mate of mine in Queensland is passing on to me a post war "Export" 20V AC Hornby E502

This loco was the only electric Hornby produced after the second world war and came in only 2 liveries .. this one , the LMS version, and a green LNER . Both versions had the pre-war colours but no longer had the railway initials on them , as for export they could be any line you liked! These electric locomotives were not sold domestically in the UK .

These two models signaled Hornby's "bowing out" of O Gauge electrics , although the clockwork examples were to continue until the late 60's

Its in pretty good nick and shall at some point have the missing coupling rods and piston rods found for it

However I think it must have been made on a Monday morning .. because the hand striping is showing considerable shakiness after someone had a big weekend !
