MrWolf Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313047443064 I remember these from when I was nine or ten, only ever saw one in the metal (plastic!) which made me think that the less than complimentary review in the Model Railway Comic, was more than generous. Can it seriously be worth £75 ? At least it's described as "working" , any description nearing "runs smoothly" and you know that they're telling porkies... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffnut Thorston Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Note the couplings on that Lima 4F... it’s an early HO version! Still not sure about that price though.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not sure about that price though.... Not exactly. Some of it was HO, some of it was OO, some of it was O my gawd. Centre drivers weren't attached to the wheels, no balance weights and the gap across to the tender got slated when new, as did the dimensions. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centre drivers weren't attached to the wheels, no balance weights and the gap across to the tender got slated when new, as did the dimensions. You forgot the N gauge version! I agree with Ruffnut that the continental hook'n'loop coupling on the tender indicates that its probably HO. At least the tender gap might be addressed by creating a new shorter drawbar from thick plasticard and retain the old one as a spare. I've got the N and O gauge locos, I feel that I ought to try and find both 16.5mm gauge variants* too, though I've the Lima OO J50 which has the same chassis... * CHEAP ones...

I’ve put up the 107 including postage on this listing on the premise photograph two shows all the coaches and wagons in one image. I can risk living without the money for a week or two and if I get anything less than that it’s straight back not as described and I’ll win my case definitely. If it’s everything then 107 is a good turnover for a few quid profit to but something I actually want! I’ll let you all know! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
