RMweb Gold chris p bacon Posted June 22, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 22, 2015 Seems strange that a new model has ended up in Cash Converters though. As someone who suffered a burglary a couple of years ago I know exactly how a lot of stuff ends up in cash converters (jewelry that time). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Got an email this morning saying that the item had been "sold in store". So never got it anyway. Never mind. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now with my cynical hat on, I'd say that someone from CashConverters decided to look on the 'net and found out how much a C1 normally goes for.....

gr.king Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 In my insignificant opinion this is one area in which eBay rules are hopelessly inadequate. I feel that anybody who wishes to take advantage of the opportunity of placing an item on eBay (often for high profit if it sells) should be required to have the item available until the specified end time of the sale. No ifs, no buts, no excuses. If the item ceases to be available either through the dishonesty or the carelessness of the seller, then the seller should be barred - no matter who they are.

Unfortunately the item under discussion is/was being sold by CashConverters in Blackburn via their website, not eBay, so discussion of eBay's rules is somewhat immaterial.

Steamport Southport Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yes it was through Cash Converters. They did at least refund me straight away, with no messing about. I was very surprised that it was already in Cash Converters. Could have be stolen. But how many of these are in circulation? I wouldn't of thought there are many in that livery and in that location. And if one had been stolen then surely the police would of been alerted? Or even Locomotion Models if somebody had ordered one and it hadn't turned up (stolen in transit or from the doorstep). Could also be a collector that had overspent and had to pay his bills in a hurry. I may buy one at a later date. But there is a lot of other things that are more of a priority at the moment.

WD0-6-0 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 My C1 has just failed quite spectacularly, first a refusal to run and then a DCC chip gone up in smoke shortly after, I'm glad it's still in warranty. Can't do hundreds without a few duffs I suppose. I'm not annoyed, I just can't wait for it to be back running again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In box me with your name and address and I'll get you a new one sent out asap. I'll get the faulty one collected at the same time.

OOgaugeJaf Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Many left? Bought a BR version, thinking of an LNER version Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markeg Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I have the LNER version and have added extra lead weight in the boiler over the driving wheels. Yesterday I tested and ran it with a set of Gresley teaks, these included a Kirk Full brake, 4 Hornby full length Teaks and a Comet etched brass Restaurant Triplet set and a CCT Van at the rear. The RTS adds extra weight to the train. It had no trouble at all hauling the train. Nice and smooth. I am so pleased with it, I am thinking I might sell my DJH model to fund another. Well done Bachmann and Locomotion for a superb model. Mark in OZ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpbell Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I ordered an LNER example, but, sadly, one of the smokebox door clasps is broken-off, so I'll be emailing tomorrow to arrange a replacement (if there are any left). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERS Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 After six months of deliberating, I finally succumbed to a GNR example on a visit to Locomotion yesterday. Not had a chance to get it out of the box yet but looking forward to having a close look at it tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Midland Mole Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I had my heart set on one of these for ages, but then they announced the Stirling Single and that took precedence for me. Still love the GNR livery version of this though. Alex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spet0114 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 As you say, the Atlantic model is truly a thing of beauty. Shame about the model of 4472 behind it, which most certainly does not represent the prototype in anything like 2005 condition. I'd expect better from Locomotion....

Shame about the model of 4472 behind it, which most certainly does not represent the prototype in anything like 2005 condition. I'd expect better from Locomotion.... OT: looking at 4472 in the pic on previous page, it has an A3 boiler, and lacks the 'Australia distance world record' plates on the slashers, so presumably it is a variant of the R3081 (but later 'Refined' issue with 'ski slope, one redeeming feature of having a A3 banjo dome rather than the A4 one fitted to R3081 and R3099 - grr on what was otherwise the last of a great line of SK models). Shame. It is technically 201X (or whenever they repaint it to apple green with double chimney and deflectors). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNWR18901910 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I already have my own model with some GNR coaching stock to go with it which is nice hence why I attempted to make my own Pre-Grouping Train Packs. Say, do you reckon a small boiler version of the C1 is in the works? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr.king Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 The C2 size of boiler won't quite fit low enough over the motor in its position in the Bachmann / NRM C1 chassis, although I have no doubt that the chassis could have been arranged to allow it to fit correctly. Quite typical of recent "no allowance for possible alternative applications" designs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
