MrWolf Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Well done. I'm still watching it and I have absolutely no interest in buying the P.O.S. There's probably a rule somewhere in US customs law that forbids the import of rubbish. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopardml2341 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Or to help those just wanting the loco or tender; it happens. OK I know, but I'm just trying to consider the altruistic element....... After all the prospective seller might end up stuck with one part that doesn't sell. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tender I have run it with was a NE tender and is listed separately." Why do some sellers separate a loco from its tender and sell as two separate lots? Triang used to sell locos and tenders as separate items with their own R numbers, so there is a precedent of sorts. And If the loco was used with a tender that was not as supplied when originally sold, then I can see why they may be treated as separate lots. What annoys me are the sellers who break down a desirable loco into as many parts as they think they can get away with and list them in consecutive lots! The total of the starting prices is like building a car from manufacturers spares... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) When I was in my late teens (about thirty years ago ) a friend worked at a motorcycle dealership. Being very bored one day, he decided to work out what it would cost to build himself a GSXR1100RR one piece at a time from the spares catalogue. About £25,000. IIRC they were about £3500 new at the time! Edited December 10, 2020 by MrWolf Attack of the grammar nazis 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
