C&WR Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I've seen pictures of miners wearing a hard hat, boots and not much else so these are positively overdressed! Like in the old cartoon of the pithead showers was it easy to work out which one went home for his lunch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truffy Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Nothing specifically wrong with the description or the item, I'm just not entirely sure that the figure's outfit is entirely appropriate for the task. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lady-Steam-Loco-Fireman-Shovelling-Coal-1-43-Finished-White-Metal-Model-/181258335882?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item2a33d6b68a http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lady-Steam-Loco-Driver-at-Controls-1-43-Finished-White-Metal-Model-/181258336421?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item2a33d6b8a5 Unfortunately a little overscale for OO or I could find them a place working on my layout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwealleans Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 They used to drive an NG loco on Malcolm Hine's 7mm Derbyshire layout, where they were (predictably) known as the 'Bakewell Tarts'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

84A Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Just a quick heads up about an eBay user that I think someone posted an item of some time back. He (name being danny66alford) seem to have received quite a few neg's in the past couple of days, so probably best avoiding buying any train items off this user: http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=danny66alford&ftab=AllFeedback&sspagename=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1183 There doesnt seem to be any listed at the moment, but the recent history shows quite a few have been on eBay.

Il Grifone Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Without any criticism of the goods for sale or their vendor, this is perhaps not the cleverest name for a seller? http://stores.ebay.co.uk/auction-fixed?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted November 16, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2013 this is perhaps not the cleverest name for a seller? Perhaps it might be ok for someone who only sells BIN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butler Henderson Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 And he describes the items as new. They cannot be as he has owned them so that makes them secondhand. Its a cause of the ebay listing choices new or used, or unspecified. Maybe it time for a preowned unopened like BNIB listing choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corax67 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 WHAT !!!!!!! At a tenner each for the wagons with cases thrown in it's less than a grands worth - not easily shocked but that one is a blinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says there are 84 boxes, some containing 3 wagons. So there might be 100 items. If in good nick, then £11 each is hardly a wild ebay figure.

Horsetan Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Yes, but 100 x £11 is £1100, not £11000.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, they failed to sell at £1,250 or somesuch now he's dropped the price but increased the zeros at the same time! DIgit trouble methinks.
