There's usually a few soap dodgers at model railway exhibitions too... Assuming the pre-Covid soap dodgers avoided Covid hand sanitisation as well, they may be extinct?? 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that they get out very much, which is part of the problem. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The note regarding it needing some attention is to cover minor detail defects should any exist." So might that be the secret to a better price for kit built wagons - describe as a loco? Recently I had two Dapol Hyfits listed, one boxed mint and one with no box and a defective buffer. There was no interest at all so when relisting I beefed up to a job lot by adding two Coopercraft and one Slaters kit built wagons and a Triang Brake Van for good measure. Got a sale this time from a 99p start but only £4.85 plus £3.20 postage for the six wagons lot. Edited April 2, 2021 by cessna152towser 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I guess the kit mine should be viewed in a new light? I wonder if prices will return to the pre-Covid norms, or is this to be the expensive 'new normal'??
