Clinton Ross Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Those are very nice and demonstrate a perfect example of the benefits for collecting DB Epoch IV and the benefits of collecting DR Epoch III, to wit: (1) after spending €800± the DB collector has five of the finest freight cars made. (2) since the manufacturer did not make those cars in DR Epoch III the DR collector still has €800± in the bank. P.S. If memory serves (it often does not) the maker of those cars released two complimentary sets with different car numbers which permits the lucky-duck collector/operator another excuse for repeating Step (1) above. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just coincidence the locos I have are era 3, and unfortunate that the wagons aren’t, however, it could be a transition from different numbering systems, or a heritage line which is the option I have gone for in the realms of blurring numbering systems. what does surprise me is that in continental O gauge, models are very much set in the past with nothing from the modern era except the occasional modern livery on DB locos that have lasted from the 60’s and 70’s 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no such thing as "enough" when it comes to model locos in general & diesels in particular. 😁😉👍 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-UnitMad Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I went to the Warley MRC's Open Day today. Tucked away at the back of their bring'n'buy stand were a couple of boxed Lenz Spur 0 wagons, a box van (not sure what sort, the packing tissue obscured it) and a black tank wagon, both 4-wheelers. I saw them & thought of this Thread. At £60 each my gut feeling was they were a bargain, and yes, I was tempted!! Was I right about the price? I resisted because I need to save for Kettering O Scale show, and just 2 wagons wouldn't be enough - I'd need a loco, a few more wagons, a suitable layout - in short I don't need more distraction or such an exciting ride down another slippery slope!!! 😱😂😂 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
