One is a badly built and painted but reasonably accurate model of an LNWR six wheel carriage, the other is a superbly finished model of a generic coach purporting to be of an LNWR carriage (even then, the colour scheme is debateable).

RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted November 20, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 20, 2021 Everyone's favourite seller. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363549746170 How much?! Well into O gauge territory. "One coach has the bogies supplied loose for you to glue back into position. It is also missing one buffer."

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted November 20, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 20, 2021 I am left wondereing how he expects the coach to go around curves or negotiate the tops or bottoms of gradients when you taken the wonderful opportunity he offers you to glue the bogies back into position. He really does deserve his own thread! 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Looking at the roof, I think that has been stuck on with the same glue as the bogies. He deserves to be stuck with them at that price. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieGuyRob Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 He has a collection of Studebaker's to run, so needs all the money he can get. I can't imagine the fuel bill being cheap. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted November 20, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 20, 2021 I looked at his other items, all overpriced except for some plastic kits including an original Kitmaster prairie tank in unmade condition. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Well he's still in business and a collection of vintage American cars isn't exactly a sign of a bloke with no money. He's probably doing better than most of us. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably doing better than most of us. He currently has four Studebakers for sale on ebay, one listed twice at different prices! A look at his other items for sale, listed at highest price first, shows an interesting and eclectic selection, many at seemingly very high prices. Given the number of items he has for sale and his ebay rating, he seems to be getting it right. An indication of the "collectors culture" he is selling into? Edited to add. He is adept at ascribing items in headings to well know highly regarded builders, then saying *possibly by" in the body of the advert . He has one Gauge 1 carriage I rather like the look of, but at his prices and descriptive record I wouldn't consider buying it without being able to inspect it first hand.
