cary hill Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 How does this Lima ex-LMS Parcel Van qualify as "kit built"? Described as repainted and renumbered only and a snip at £34.50 from "Gobs" http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LIMA-5359-KIT-BUILT-BR-SOUTHERN-SR-GREEN-BOGIE-PARCEL-VAN-COACH-S38646-mz-/360808176727?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item5401d7dc57 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike. No that is for the kit alone - this is offered for sale with TWO tenshodo (yeuk) power units (actually the wrong ones as Black Beetles are recommended and slightly more superior) - and it also includes the 2 pantographs. As so often a kit requires more than simply the etchings... So all-in-all not a bad starting/reserve price - as long as you can resell the tenshodos to some other unsuspecting or less fussy ebuyer.

PatB Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 But its local delivery for you - almost! You'll be able to drive it home, except for that pesky gauge difference, or is it? Well, I could get them to Midland on the 4'81/2" but then it'll be a long, 25 km, slog up the old 3'6" trackbed from there. Maybe if I get a few lengths of old rail..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect most potential buyers see the top line and think that's a lot for one pair of bogies, no doubt just as you did! With all that free space in the title you would have thought .... I don't know the price in Australia, but it still seems expensive even for 25 pairs, especially considering they are second hand. Also how are 4mm bogies suitable for 0n3? (The gauge works out at around 2' 4" (or 2' 6" in 1:48) and the rest is similarly undernourished.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Reported as misrepresentation. Forgot to add that, obviously, eBay won't take a blind bit of notice, partly because they don't really know the difference between RTR and kitbuilt anyway, and partly because they are only concerned about extracting their fees......

Why not just renumber/rename a perfectly good equivalent model? Certainly beats trying to remodel the cab upright on the left side!
