It looks as if was attacked with a saw or Dremel. The only question is why? I was just about to say the same, that looks like saw cuts. Very odd. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if its a relisting, but all thats been done is that the lot has been tidied up and rephotographed. It hasn't improved the contents... Start and BIN haven't changed as I recall. BIN?

I think that is perfectly reasonable given the prices actually achieved for such items in playworn condition and how many years you see the same old models unsold at exhibitions and toy fairs. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted April 25, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 25, 2021 Not sure this is madness, but very odd at least.

Still don't want it though. There's madness in actually wanting money for it. I have been given many old garden sheds on the grounds that I had a truck and several open fires at home. Plus the property owners often provided beer and pizza. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did consider brio for all the roads but she prefers moving it about so it would have been restrictive both for moving and also the type of vehicles she can use in it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
