RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted July 7, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 7, 2013 Well at least any additional item is only £3.95 postage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I would agree it's not a Tri-ang motor bogie. I'll check my Kitmaster one (if I can get to it - there's a load of stuff in the way). They are very similar, except the Kitmaster is rather puny. Mine came with a K's GWR Diesel Railcar - no chance! I can confirm it's a Kitmaster. Mine's the same even down to the red gears.

Also the questionable practice of listing multiple manufacturers on one item just to get attention. Note the anti-Payapl(!) sentiments, which it is believed are against eBay policy.

Titan Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 An update on that 'Hornby Dublo' V2 we discussed: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-Hornby-DUBLO-3-RAIL-LTD-EDITION-LNER-V2-GREEN-ARROW-EXLNT-BOXED-/360685396694?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item53fa8662d6&nma=true&si=2HCQfTM02oHFGvgJJR6tb38059s%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 I was involved in the manufacture of those! The donor was a 2-6-4 tank. I was given a load of valve gear frets and tin snips and a file, and earned a little extra pocket money cutting the bits out and cleaning them up. So there is a good chance I cut out the valve gear for that model! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I may be wrong - I sold the GWR livery one I had, because it wasn't!) What is certain is that it shouldn't have B4 bogies! The Lima DMU doesn't seem unreasonable, though the seller is right that you can see the join! (Mine still remain as two DMBSs, though I did acquire some extra bits for the conversion. Since they're MIB I'm loath to touch them now.) Edited July 8, 2013 by Il Grifone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted July 8, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 8, 2013 I have to say that paying £2k to a seller with precisely 3 feedbacks is a bit chancy. He may be utterly decent, or he may not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted July 8, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 8, 2013 I have to say that paying £2k to a seller with precisely 3 feedbacks is a bit chancy. He may be utterly decent, or he may not. My thoughts entirely - when I'm a buyer I'm also wary of paying a lot to someone with small feedback score. Even if he's a thoroughly decent chap, what experience does he have in packing/shipping such items securely? You can't tell from a small score.

C&WR Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 All it would take would be for Heljan to re-issue it! Exactly my argument to Bachmann about their FGW Class 166. There is plainly a market for them as they go at in excess of £150 on eBay, but it seems that I was the third person they'd told today there was no demand!

Almost worth bidding the 1p starting price just to see (well imagine) the guy's face when he sees how much it costs to post it these days. Perhaps £1 was reasonable when he first started listing it.
