Graham Farish'The Gaffer' Passenger Set No. 8530 Train Set N Gauge Boxed

Graham Farish'The Gaffer' Passenger Set No. 8530 Train Set N Gauge Boxed! I believe this was the first train set produced by Poole / Graham Farish?

In great condition for age all buffers, couplings intact though engine is missing one step ladder, also tested and runs though very sluggish not sure if it's the pick ups not touching the wheels?? Not many of these sets around!
