Perhaps that’s why it went for stupid money because it was absolutely perfect for the needs of two people’s layouts with an idle class 33! 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chassis might not be affected. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kit got seriously hacked about instead. Some very good hacking about there! I like that. It was Railway Modeller, not surprisingly seeing that both Ratio and RM are parts of the PECO group. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Rich PS yes I did spot the special Banana wagon conversion in lot 2 Lot 1 does contain a Tri-ang Hornby labelled “white emergency box” issued during the period when Lines Bros were in trouble… And a blue painted Tri-ang Railways Restaurant Car… Lot 2 has a Bogie Bolster that looks like it’s been trodden on. And a Hornby Dublo metal version, that would certainly hurt if trodden on! The restaurant car has been renumbered. The Blue Circle cement wagon is the earlier grey version… Lot 3 has a repainted BR (SR) L1 4-4-0, pretending to be a LMS 2P. (Hornby Railways retooled the cab when they made their 2P conversion…) A matching blue painted coach. The drop side wagon is a less common version, but is ruined for collectors by being fitted with non original couplings! And is in an early pre 1954 printed “Richmond” box for the R.11 Goods Van… The Murgatroyd’s Chlorine tanker is nice… But nothing earth shattering in those lots…except the pricing!

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted October 20, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 20, 2021 Of course, a V5 and a charred chassis plate are all you need to ring a stolen one sadly and it does happen, a lot. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 With that level of fire damage I doubt that anything will be salvageable, the nature of the steel will have been changed by the extreme heat and components will be distorted and severely weakened. I've seen leaf springs bent the opposite way and chassis structures twisted in fires. Any non ferrous parts of the engine and transmission will have melted and everything else seized. It's basically £25 worth of scrap (if you haul it to the yard yourself) and a log book that's handy to dodge duties on a rust free import or more likely, create a ringer. The VIN tags will have melted, but it's a Mini, NOS and repro tags are available, you can even get them pre stamped - if you have a log book. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
