jonny777 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I think it is time to get my Replica coaches out of the cupboard. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Replica-BR-Stanier-2nd-Open-Coach-Maroon-EXTREMELY-RARE-/400150472205?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item5d2ad3a60d Then maybe I can afford a Hornby Stanier one with the proceeds.

bertiedog Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 "Hi the date is 1/6/06, no not kept in a fridge as they would get moist. They have been kept in a larder in an air tight container, which stores our fresh produce. Thanks" So I can't even eat my £10.00 each Smarties It is deeply worrying to think that there are "Smarties Collectors" out there , on the loose, and not under care and close supervision......

RMweb Gold RFS Posted September 14, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 14, 2010 Postage is a bit steep don`t you think. Business maquerading as private???/ Probably not - it's the way Royal Mail charge for special delivery: it's £9.50 for up to 2kg, but anything over that (up to 10kg max) is charged at a flat rate of £22.50. Special delivery is not really meant for really heavy items: standard parcels would be my preferred option, or another courier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted September 14, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 14, 2010 On the subject of Lima, is this the world record for a Lima OO loco (or are Irish Rail examples particularly valuable?...) My link As I said a couple of pages back Lima 201's are fairly rare, and command high enough prices on Ebay, especially IE orange ones. Mind you, £325 is a tad optimistic, nearer the 250-270 mark is fair game though. They have gone for more than that in the past. I need to find that farmers market that worrals was on about, I'd love to polish a few of them in a project or two. Many people over here have performed major surgery on them. Pretty much all Irish stuff which is sold out by retailers goes for a premium 2nd hand. A lot of money for a crock of crap though in this case!

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted September 16, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 16, 2010 I have just purchased a 'OO' scale diecast model van from Hong Kong via e-bay. No complaints about the dealer or price and the postage was free. The diecast had the appearance of an Austin A40 van of the early 50's which is why I decided to purchase. It arrived this morning and despite being a solid one piece casting was quite well detailed, the problem is that the bonnet casting is from an A30! not an A40. There is the possibility that this vehicle is an Australian model but it does look strange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
