N Gauge Help Required

[greentrainman]

Hi All,
A rather unusual item has come into my possesion and i would appreciate any information regarding it if possible.

It is a fully boxed Graham Farish N Gauge model of what to me looks like a class 158, it has a livery reminding me of the old regional railways. So far so good but the bit that puzzles me is that it has foreign writing on the bodyside (looks a little like Thai).

As l say any help regarding this item would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for that Johnny, someone else reckons its one of a limited set of 50 showing the Thai varient of the 158. If that is true it may be quite a rare item
