SteveyDee68 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Getting back to business ... I heard back from one seller regarding their overpriced class 03 - they’ve relisted it at a more realistic starting price and a more accurate description (new old stock) and have had two bids and gained five watchers whereas before they had no interest. Result for everybody. The other responded saying she doesn’t know anything about model trains, and gave me an “offer” to buy for £60 instead of £80!! Not responded to that yet, but I won’t be paying that!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bachmann-31-337-04-DIESEL-SHUNTER-D2280-BR-GREEN-SCALE-1-76-/265007775672?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 And just when I thought I had seen them all ... how about an older model for £160?! Now that really is eBay madness! She also has various other overpriced railway items for sale - a Hornby “Tango” van for £14, a “new” Lima coach for £40 (how long since Lima went out of business?) I’ve messaged her pointing out she may be a little overpriced. Interesting to see how she responds! Steve S 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul H Vigor Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Just a thought: Given the latest tranche of [familiar?] eBay offerings, Mr Gostude must have a vast collection of unsold stock stashed in his lock-up. I wonder if Mrs Gostude ever has 'words'? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 But it IS professionally built (no idea who by) and if you read the description there's a question mark over whether it is a London Road product, though it is "Super" and an "Exceptional model".... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Darius The zig-zag coupling rods would cause me some concern - especially for a starting bid of £250.00. Do you reckon it would complete a circuit of a roundy roundy? Paul.

pete_mcfarlane Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 The loco looks like it's compensated - it even has proper forked joints in the coupling rod, so I wouldn't worry about wheels and rods being at odd angles when it's not sitting on the track. The biggest problem is that it's far too clean and has horrible 1970s Triang couplings. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
