Rail-Online Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 They do sell better that way, but I'm not sure it's worth all the hassle. In theory they do but they are a nightmare to post as the bits are delicate and I guess everyone wants the same parts so you get left with the unsalable bits.

Thane of Fife Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Just spotted this loco built by a "professional model maker": http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/00-GAUGE-KIT-BUILT-L-N-E-R-J210-6-0-N0-800-/321375014370?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item4ad3718de2#ht_839wt_1190 If this "Professional model maker" built this Nucast kit for me, I wouldn't pay him. 1) LNER no 800 was a saturated loco all its life, the model has the extended smokebox of superheated locos 2) LNER no 800 was a Westinghouse brake loco, with vacuum ejector added later, I can't see either the Westinghouse pump or the vacuum pipe. 3) The chimney has bare spaces where the black paint has missed. There is no primer showing underneath, so it was a single black coat. 4) One of the tender axle retainers has been fixed crookedly 5) Black paint is partly over the treads of the tender wheels. Who would want a loco like that in their collection? I only have one J21, and could do with another, but it won't be this one. Thane of Fife Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andytrains Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 And it's 'KIT BUILT' - not even your common or garden 'kit built'... It amazes me how people describe something as kit built, when it is a RTR item. Even with detailing and/or alteration, it still does not make the item kit built. That's Gosturde for you though.

Indeed. eBay aren't interested in sellers 'word bombing' in efforts to try & get more 'hits' from the search facility either, it would seem. Even though, in the eyes of the law, it's surely misrepresentation at best? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
