RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted August 20, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 20, 2013 'Hornby King, missing motor. Also tender is slightly different shade of green'. Err would that be anything to do with the fact it's not a Collett tender? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-Railways-R078-010-King-Edward-Loco-00-Gauge-Missing-Motor-/130967606242?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item1e7e4713e2&autorefresh=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffnut Thorston Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 And, where's the handrail on the tank, I mean, all the water will run out of those holes... Some people Dave. That loco must be an early one to have had the handrails fitted...only the first production had handrails, all the rest had the holes filled in...

Nedrahn Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Re: the Code 3 pug. I'm new here, so apologies if this is an old, ongoing topic, but is this guy serious? Over £50 including postage for a 'Southern' Caley pug? I suppose it took so much effort to paint it black. If someone buys it then we'll have proof that it's possible even in this great economic recovery (sic) to have more money than sense. Stephen.

Or you can buy two together for £59.95. So let's see one at £49.50, one at £32.50 or two for £59.95.............No - I can't work out the pricing structure either................
