RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted December 2, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 2, 2014 I think I have discovered a new high/low in ebay madness. This item is an HO plastic, non-motored model in a plastic case. I would really, really like it, because I have travelled in it on the Transvap preserved line, for which the railcar was originally built in 1947. They also have #903, and I've travelled in that, too. Just look at the price! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Autorail-Billard-A-75-D-Atlas-/311187214812?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=2pbl1mTNVga998ltFtCerGS1rfo%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jivebunny Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I suspect that the bids on these get so high due to the fact the Atlas railcar series are fairly accurate and nicely detailed models, and are good candidates for improvement and even motorisation (with a bit of chopping up). The excellent Biscatrain blog has a whole section on doing just that. It's in French but the pictures speak for themselves (layout now sadly dismantled I believe, due to a house move). Disclaimer: I cannot be held responsible if you end up spending quite a few hours looking through this wonderful blog. http://www.biscatrain.fr/2014/08/motorisation-digitalisation-autorail-billard-a-75d-atlas.html Blog homepage: http://www.biscatrain.fr/ JB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do buy one be careful when removing the tram from the base, the couplings between the locomotive and tram are not glued in place and will drop out, guess how I know.
