Possibly qualifies as "kit built" and "made in UK" if it was assembled locally from bits taken from more than one Bachmann coach. Not sure about the brass though. Further down it is described as a rare plastic kit built model. Edited January 6, 2022 by cessna152towser typo 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical antique dealer spiel, "Exley ?". Possibly / attributed to / in the style of. List all possibilities to draw in potential buyers but make them suitably vague so that you have wriggle room / plausible deniability if / when the rare item turns out to be a piece of junk made in the far east twenty years ago. Which it is. I also noticed that it apparently has Peco couplings... What I saw was something that looks like Airfix with the hook missing. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveyDee68 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 And lo it came to pass that two examples of the following have been listed on eBay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/689-Bachmann-32-150Z-Class-N-2-6-0-31874-Brian-Fisk-Mint-In-wooden-box-/353458544884?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Is this a multiple listing of the same item? I guess that this is a special edition, looking at the wooden case, but what caught my eye was the serial number - 32-150Z … You see, 32-150 is one of those notorious Zinc Pest (Mazak Rot) affected models. So, if this model is one of that batch, £230+ seems an awful lot of money for what is effectively a “dead duck”, even if it is a “collector’s item” for some reason! Incidentally, I’ve received “offers” on all the overpriced items I’ve been watching, including the Mazak Rot affected N class, where £5 was knocked off the asking price (making it £70 for a definitely dud model, as opposed to £60 starting price for other, non-affected models listed elsewhere!)

The seller “micmcn” appears to be after Gostude’s crown - if you find something for sale at the most expensive price from Gostude, the likelihood is that micmcn will be selling the same thing for just slightly less. Almost (almost) makes me wonder if they are one and the same! Steve S 2 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An internet search for GEM and Lytchett Manor Models, the recent manufacturer doesn't turn up anything other than "N" etched nameplates. So that model may have increasing rarity value. However, why any honest person would describe it as MIB, is beyond belief. But that's eBay traders for you. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, but I don't think that they'll quite achieve the level of stupid prices of such kits as D&S. They regularly sell for more than those which are still available from other producers who have taken over some of Danny's range or those which are still occasionally are available from the man himself. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 They certainly do. I was incredibly lucky and picked up a D&S GWR outside framed Toad brake van from the boxes under a modern image layout at an exhibition for £10. This was a couple of years ago and at the time they were going for between £65-85 on eBay. I often wonder if any of those will get built or simply put into a drawer until the next price hike. That definitely happens with vintage motorcycle parts, all of a sudden you get dealers trawling the stalls at autojumbles looking for the same thing. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
