Hmmm.

 

Yes, quite nice I suppose, but no guarantees that it works, or even that it won’t arrive as a kit of parts!

 

Even if it is shipped in a “proper box”…:mellow:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He is a deluded man if you ask me. Far too many of his items are way over priced & have been on ebay for years. 

 

He would make a killing if he sold things are right prices

That Princess Royal, the original R.258 (R.258 number then re used for the 1970s LMS Maroon model…) with maroon cylinders is one of the earlier batch.  Made from 1959.  Later batches had black cylinders.

Later Black Cylinders, lined yellow.

Yet he has a feedback rating of 43510, someone must be buying his stock (183 positives in the last month alone).

Some of his stuff is reasonably priced.  I have bought several wagons and coaches etc. from him over the years.

 

I think his pricing reflects the (ridiculous) price he paid for the item and he doggedly sticks to his price despite the item never selling.

 

Cheers

"Hornby coach network rail engineering train. Uneck never seen any think like it before would keep it if it fit my era."

That is hardly surprising.

I don't think many of us have ever seen a Network Rail Pullman.

This seems rather optimistic - particularly when you look at completed listings...

And there's his line

Offers very welcome as unsure on total valuation of the item. Will accept offer around £300 outright.

:whistle:

 

I suppose you could always remove the Dunlop branding and put Network Rail transfers on instead...

Lots of lovely Ks kits on at the moment, Just a shame about the apparent worth of some of them

The ones from the Italian seller? There's a few that I'd like, but they're all two or three times what I'd be willing to pay sadly.

I know Wrenn stuff has a peculiar attraction for some who are prepared to pay rather more then "normal" people, but this seemed err, a wee bit extreme:
