EBay madness

Is it normal for a Wrenn Class 20 to sit high on her bogies or is it just this one?

 

They aren't badly done, but indeed WTF!

 

That a Dublo Duchess will easily pull 4 Dublo coaches isn't much of a big deal. This was the test load they were supposed to shift at around a scale 100mph!

Could someone explain this kind of pricing to me? It's quite common with what are I think US-based E-sellers..

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/311147625513

They also sell lots of American outline stuff, some of it 3x over retail!

Check out this Alco Big Boy, normally about £350 - 400.  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Athearn-Genesis-HO-4-8-8-4-Big-Boy-w-DCC-Sound-UP-4005-/381032475010?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item58b74e2982

This is a non sound GP9 and very nice highly detailed model but sound versions of these can be picked up for less than this non sound one- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Athearn-Genesis-HO-GP9-EL-1260-/311147626983?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4871d801e7

 

I cant imagine anyone buying any of these unless they are very stupid in the extreme!

It's keeping the Gaiety tank company.  I don't think they could ever bear to be parted from each other!

 Looks suspiciously like it's on Hornby Bogies as well............

 

But I suppose they are the 'rare' ones with whitewall tyres

Near mint - apart from missing the BR decals and chips in the red lining.

Well he can say goodbye to a peaceful nights sleep then, as I've just charged mine. :D

Doesn't say it's a weathered edition in my book but I see there's a couple more around. Looks more like they got paintballed.

Sadly this is how Hornby actually turned them out.  Presumably they had the same market research consultants who advised Bachmann to produce so many custard dip Blue Pullmans

...At least it isn't claimed to have been 'professionally weathered'.....but it is "in stunning condition"... :rolleyes:
