RMweb Premium njee20 Posted October 23, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 23, 2018 I don't get stuff like that - ignoring, for a moment, the wonky nameplate it's the sort of thing that could represent a loco awaiting scrapping, particularly with the graffiti, which looks reasonably well done. But it's a complete fantasy AFAIK, if there was a photo of the loco in that condition it may be a reasonable rendition, but as is it just looks totally crazy. And has a wonky nameplate.

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted October 23, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 23, 2018 That's what I mean - the Family Guy graffiti surely must be based on a prototype photo, or the guy has a properly warped mind, but it was never that loco (as far as I know), if you're going to do that why not do it to whichever loco actually ended up in that condition. I can't imagine the guy said to someone "can you make this loco look like it's really neglected, y'know, the whole lot; Lois Griffin with her norks out and a sinister looking Quagmire on the cab side..."!

Kempenfelt Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 The trailer was the first lot of the 2 to sell. I assume those who missed out on the first half therefore were not going to bother biding on the driving car as it’s not much use if you only win one end! Having won this DMU i’m Delighted with it. I’ve always admired Rodney’s work and i’d be most interested to speak to anyone who’s got any ROCAR vehicles that they’re looking to sell.

Shame the seller was so mean as to sell them individually rather than offering them up as a pair as they should be (assuming the seller knew what the were of course............)

N15class Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Yes but it's using eBay's rip off global shipping program. That charge at least ten times the postal rate and for customs and import taxes, even if under the applicable rate or tax exempt. eBay have a little tick box hidden in the listing you need to fill if you want to be excluded from the program. I found it by mistake. Even if you fill out the international postal part it won't appear without the tick. All a rip off. I will not buy if gsp postage. I always email vendor to see if they would post properly most have done and didn't realise how eBay were making them loose sales. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo666 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 [This could have been noted earlier, but quick search of 881 pages cannot see it] Seller states it a Stobart Rail Livery Class 66 641, but photographs are all of a Black BR Standard Class 3MT Steam Tank Loco early emblem. Even I can see the difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
