Il Grifone Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 The vent van sold at the asking price! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331105764974?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I believe BR sold off old bodies in the sixties for 25/- a foot*, so something like this would have sold for around £20. Allowing for inflation that makes about £400, which this sold for. The difference is the condition of course - this is only fit for scrap. *I got this figure from somewhere - it might not be correct, but would seem reasonable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grovenor Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Why do people insist on inane drivel about the real thing, which has nothing to do with the model being sold?! Especially when they then mention nothing about the actual model! What could they usefully say about the model that is not covered by the picture? Worth a thousand words you know.

84A Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Anyone bored with OO? Thought about scaling up? Maybe this is a start: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/railway-carriage-Genuine-Severn-Valley-Train-Carriage-/331105764974 Note: Listed as Used. Do Markits offer full scale wheels? Just discovered today that someone actually bought it! It would be nice to see it restored, but there looks like a hell of a lot of work between then and now.

Ruffnut Thorston Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Well, the "Garden seat" wheels could do!... Being the same scale as the van body... OK, they are Roller Bearings...but..... Just an underframe, buffers, etc. and another set of wheels needed... And couplings of your choice!
