That's why I prefer 'Buy it now' - you know what you will get and what you will pay for it. Like it used to be with traders at shows. In some ways, ebay can become the graveyard of creative inspiration? Something (usually a wreck) with potential pops up, which no one appears to show any interest in; you develop a mental plan for what it may become; then, in the dying seconds, it gets sniped for silly money, in front of your eyes! I look forward to the day when I can resume my wreck-hunting in 'under the table' boxes at shows! I fear ebay has turned me into a GoM!? 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit strange not to actually mention the conversion, and the PECO coupling fitted to the tender.... I didn't look that closely, 3-rail and an HD compatible coupling eh? The shattered rear of the cab around the body-fixing screw area does tend to indicate a fatal collision, either with the floor, or an HD Duchess of Montrose. Head on... In the item specifics, it's suggested that its 2-rail, BR livery and a replica of Brittannia... And again, the attribution as Quote Hornby DUBLO 00 Gauge 'Loco And Tender B12 Green 8509' Model... Triang,-Hornby more like, though R150 is probably correct. Not something that would make it especially desirable, I'd have thought. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
