CME and Bottlewasher Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Good Man!!!!! .......I hope 40126 will have a similar total disrespect for the 'Limited Edition' bull#hit & make it into a nice model Thanks Phill, Im glad that you approve. Often 'limited edition' ie of 5000 isnt limited edition, ideally limited edition is below 500, well below I have a few 'collections' but they are out of their boxes and gather dust as I like looking at them, when it comes to trains, tanks, cars, trucks, boats et al it all gets used and weathered - do things get damaged? Yes sometimes, but that's a calculated risk. No value judgements and each to their own, but I am a model-maker/modeller first and foremost, as opposed to a collector. I think with many of the diecast 1:50/1:43 type models, one has to be selective as some miss the mark in terms of their basic shape - yet some of the Oxford light commercials are very good, whilst others are not. Also it all has to fit together, road vehicles and railway alike. I like how Gordon Gravett fettles them though by just drilling out the rivets for access to the interiors to flush glaze and fettle, flattening the tyre bottoms, placing the front wheels at an angle etc. ATVB CME Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

railwayrod Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hi Steve. You had better watch this Continental stuff! It has a habit of making you look for other manufacturers like Lenz and MBW. Their stuff is brilliant and a lot cheaper than the British equivalent. Look at what I have brought over the last 2 - 3 years on Ramchester. At present I have nearly as much German stuff as British!! And all DCC sound fitted to boot. Rod Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
40126 Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Thanks Rod & CME. I have a few Lima ferry vans, some of which I got off Phill (Dyson). I've just missed out on another Interfrigo on eBay tonight (Gutted). As I would like to create a Scottish themed layout to run my 26 /27's on.
