Bung it dirt and all on eBay and ask well over a hundred pounds for it! Throw out? I've got a Super 4 double oval for running Triang locos that bounce on System 6 chairs... 42 minutes ago, MrWolf said: Not forgetting that old Dinky field gun that fired match sticks!

Obviously didn't like the description I used. I think he puts 'model' on all his descriptions, probably hoping it'll show up better in searches. This is the seller I bought an item from, who advertised it with a box, but didn't make clear it was the wrong box. When I complained, he replied that boxes weren't important; apparently some of his customers ask him to send items without the boxes! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I believe they were tamed a little with a new motor and gearbox a few years back, but there's no visual clue as to whether you're getting one of these relatively usable ones or the land speed record model. 2 hours ago, Paul H Vigor said: I know!

I believe there there was a front view of a railcar in one of the episodes? I seem to recall the smokebox and chimney were set to one side, not central?
