Martin S-C Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 The inverse of e-Bay madness is e-Bay Good Value and I thought bringing this seller to the attention of those persons here assembled was worth doing. I have been looking at some Hornby clerestories recently for chopping up and general abusing into freelance 4-wheel and 6-wheel things and have seen the early ones going for up to £25 and the later ones with asking prices of over £40. Yet here we have a pair of very nicely made (but tired and needing TLC) EM gauge kit built ones. At very good price. Of course three things scare off the "shut up and take my money" masses - needing TLC, not having Hornby couplings and being THE WRONG GAUGE! ARGH! Converting these to 00 and putting tension locks on (if that's your thing) is a less than one hour job for anyone with basic modelling skills but there's seemingly little interest in them. I like the full brake and will have a punt on that. If it stays under about £25 I think that's good value. The seller has a good few unmade coach kits on offer at good prices too. In fact his starting prices are so good its a sort of e-Bay madness of another kind.

MrWolf Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Thanks Martin, I haven't actually bid on any of those items, tempting as some of them were, but it did lead to me buying something I actually needed to progress building my layout. Which has to be a first.... 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have also been out of production for many years with limited supply in the first place it means parts go for good money. Having said that £59 for some valve gear i think is on the pricey side as I'm not sure there is much difference with that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The description claims the manufacturer to be Wills, though the photo is of a Wizard/Comet A3 chassis kit.

Part built, how well I wonder? £440? Looks like £4 worth of scrap brass to me. You might take a risk at £50 in the hope that you could find, substitute or make the missing parts. If he really wants to sell it for what it's worth, try putting it in auction. Edited October 23, 2021 by MrWolf 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
