Il Grifone Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Now I know these are like rocking hor hen's teeth, but this price seems rather OTT. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-DUBLO-PRE-WAR-S-R-BRAKE-VAN-/173827619884?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20190212102350%26meid%3D10094c22a3f94398818247fb9a805a71%26pid%3D100012%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D153410939597%26itm%3D173827619884&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&autorefresh=true&nma=true&si=f0uB%2FgVy9etdf6qF%2BUm%2FsZybiwQ%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc I wouldn't like to suggest any wrongdoing, but there are definite signs of tampering with the tags. Strictly a post war body is pre-war anyway, as apparently a quantity of of printed sheets were stashed away and brought out after the war for assembly. I suspect some were printed later on (around the time of the introduction of the revised tank wagon liveries (1951, or possibly 1950) not 1954 as stated in the 'bible' - I received a set for Xmas 1951) , but Southern brake vans don't seem to have been included, hence their rarity.

Ruffnut Thorston Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Interesting... The brake van started at £1.00. A pity that things I sell never get going like this one! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonMW Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Every so often I scan Ebay for the occasional bargain... and usually come away shaking my head. This one was the one today: Adderley Hall AU$277 to get this apparently rare Hornby Railroad Hall class delivered to my door here in Australia, from an Australian eBayer. Apparently "This locomotive will be a great investment as few have been made and is sold out in the UK". Makes me wonder then why I can get the same thing, shipped from Hattons, delivered to my door, for about AU$90. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
