Horsetan Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRANCHLINES-KIT-BUILT-LOCO-MULTIBOX-EXTENTION-GEARBOX-OO-PA-EM-SCALE-mu-/360505694212?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item53efd05804 At first I thought that it was a little expensive for a B/L Multibox but then noticed it's only the Extension for the Multibox! What's surprising is that someone has actually brought one! There's someone in Westbury who will sell you one for £7.25 plus £2.25 postage. I guess there's a price for impatience and in this case it's £10. I wonder if any of his sales are declared in his annual tax return....which must surely make interesting reading.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Grifone Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I wonder if any of his sales are declared in his annual tax return....which must surely make interesting reading....He's listed as a business seller and therefore liable to income tax* (and possibly VAT - depending on turnover)on his eBay business. *And presumably the myriad of other taxes running a business entails!

Horsetan Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 He's listed as a business seller and therefore liable to income tax* (and possibly VAT - depending on turnover).... Given the exorbitant price tags and the apparent ease (see his feedback) with which he collects such riches, I would have thought he would have no trouble reaching the threshold for VAT.

industrial Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 This one looks ready to go over the odds: It's an Impetus thing - you wouldn't understand.... Well only £69.05 so for an Impetus kit not over the top and the last bid was nearly 3 days before the end of bidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted May 9, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 9, 2013 From one of our regulars, a heavily rusted coach.

Cleefy Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Not only would you not buy a kit from our old friend, you wouldn't commission him to build one, either... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 In fairness, I don't think he half-built it. He's merely profiting from someone else giving up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleefy Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 In fairness, I don't think he half-built it. He's merely profiting from someone else giving up. For sure, but I was referring to his attempts to place the body on the chassis. Admittedly I'm a kit-building tyro, but I don't think he's got it quite right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rail-Online Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Not only would you not buy a kit from our old friend, you wouldn't commission him to build one, either... I see it is sprung and includes Sharman Wheels (not that he would recognise them) -I like the description 'with a brass or Nickel Silver tender.' It is not hard to tell the difference!

industrial Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 And it is a model of the only 0-8-2 engine the LMS ever had with the cylinders to be placed at the cab end. Also he can't read as he states the wrong make of tender wheels when it is stated clearly on the pack headers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it's pedantic to point out that the coach is neither LMS nor a composite*. Grafar coaches are (approximately) Maunsell low window thirds. Yet another example that indifferent models remain indifferent, even when passed off as withdrawn. *Down to its manufacturer, of course - such things were rife back then.

Whats great abou this loco is that you could run it on pretty much any layout and it would be prototypical as this famous loco has undertaken so many railtours that it has operated over such a great time period." Since when can you run Scotsman in LNER Green with Kylchap chimney, deflectors and modern OHLE flashes in, say the 1950s? And when was Scotsman this dirty in preservation? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Grifone Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Brand new and the rod's bent! Keith It looks like a jointed rod - the wretched chassis with the sprung rear axle? I can't imagine why it's thought to be worth £100 though! This must have one of the longest production runs. It's basically the same as the fifties Tri-ang version (which was poor even then IMHO). EDIT Just noticed lowered to £100!!!!! Edited May 12, 2013 by Il Grifone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
