Guest Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 A different kind of madness - the madness of selling anything that's "weathered" 2 of the items he's selling really annoy me! Both are London Transport/underground Class 20's, but he's weathered them They were painted into those liveries in November 2012 (I think), and have been kept pristine since! So why he weathered them, no one will ever know, and he expects us to pay more money for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted April 19, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 19, 2014 Not madness, but having berated a numer of sellers for their unique perspectives on abandoned rolling stock, I feel obligated to say this one actually looks pretty well done IMHO http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-Class-50-040-Leviathan-Abandoned-Allelys-Heavy-Haulage-Lorry-Lowloader-/151281497429?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item2339147555 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robmcg Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) A different kind of madness - the madness of selling anything that's "weathered" He/she does nice stuff, not always, but often. The prices for hard-to-get models and with very skilled weathering are very fair in my opinion, lower usually than say TMC. As to the 0 gauge Pannier, quite likely dropped, surely? I have to say the Schools below is to my eyes ok and a good price, and some of the BR Standards and other grimy prototypes are very well done, I have bought a few, thus you might say I'm biased. I average natural light they often look different to photos, too. Maybe I take the demeanour of posts in this thread too seriously, but it comes across as rather unnecessary derision at times.

Mel_H Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 A bit OT I know, but it seems almost a perfect fit; from a Sheffield-based retailer *cough*. At full price in Modelzone they were 'only' £30.99 when new.

Carbonel Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Photo 4 appears to have been deleted. Photo 4 showed the underside of the model. The loco had been laid on one side, with the tender resting on top of it it a like position (so much for MIB). The tender side was lettered "LMS". I haven't had a reply to my question yet. If I thought there was any point to my doing so, I'd take this up with ebay, but I don't imagine that they'd actually do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet so many people who weather locos seem to overlook this - especially on 35029. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
