No picture of implied box. Excellent...but worn number! Pointless quoting the coupling mark (and getting it wrong!) as these only came with the mark III. I assume "only for the serious collector", because only collectors would want the wretched thing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted November 13, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2013 What is, 'Esso certification service'. Its one of those things that looks like it attaches to something that spins it around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) What is, 'Esso certification service'. I wondered myself, but presumably it refers to the label/advert attached underneath, which I suspect actually reads "Esso Lubrication Service" It might just be worth 99p for the Meccano part and the length of Track (Peco fibrebase flexible by the look of it) but not with £2.95 postage on top.

Ruffnut Thorston Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I've got one of these for my Dublo crane - mine has buffers but I can't remember if it came with them or I pinched them from something else (plenty of Tri-ang junk lying around) They came without buffers fitted, but the holes were still there for them....so a five minute job, insert spigot into hole , 4 times... Apparently there are also the non brake ends out there...but I have only seen these in one photo in a big book.... The roofs can also vary...non brake roofs do seem to be about...the same with the "Engineers" Black and Green versions, with grey roofs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatB Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 The Price (£147.20) seems rather OTT or am I missing something?

I've seen a number of cases where an individual secondhand book has surfaced simultaneously on Ebay and Amazon. Mind you, in the case that immediately springs to mind, it worked in my favour, allowing me to buy an item that was over a hundred quid in one place for just over a tenner in the other. God knows what the seller was up to but I was quite pleased with my purchase. OTOH, some publications just seem to fetch (or at least be uniformly advertised at) silly money for no readily apparent reason. But then, I buy books to read or to use, not to collect as such, so maybe I'm missing something. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) I trust this rather OTT bidding is not from people, who think they are getting a rare original! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-DUBLO-OO-GAUGE-3-RAIL-TYPE-EDL7-LNER-CLASS-N2-0-6-2-SOUTHERN-2594-195-/151158541704?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item2331c04d88 It's not a bad repaint (apart from the skewed transfers - the originals aren't immune from this), but the seller is correct in saying "believed to be a repaint". (The genuine article should have 'Hornby' in an arc on the smokebox door and large cab windows - this is the BR version EDL17. The chassis should have green wheels, the earlier couplings and a horseshoe magnet.) Also she doesn't work! (I've no complaint with the seller, who listed at a perfectly reasonable £4.99 + £3.60.)

David, you've found an item that truly reflects the thread title !! As most production at Hornby-Dublo went for export, I didn't get mine until about 1952 when the set - track, open wagon, closed van - cost my parents £1 2s 6d ...........

jwealleans Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) It's clearly not a cheap book. Didn't he do a four volume edition?
