Andy Reichert Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hi, Another example of how these idiots fail to do their research. The loco is clearly in green livery. This sort of rubbish churned out by fools looking for profit is just what brings our hobby into disrepute. Regards When and how exactly was "our hobby" IN repute?

RMweb Premium Neil Posted March 1, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2015 A serial offender for stupid prices, though I have to say that I did buy a nice little Swiss loco from them for a reasonable c£50. I just don't understand their business model. I'm afraid I do. Some time ago I noticed one of his models with a slipped decimal point leading to an outrageous price. I contacted the chap, said I assumed it was a genuine mistake and let him know that on the upside it had at least garnered a lot of interest here on RMweb. Since then these 'mistakes' have become depressingly frequent, and perhaps counter productive. Given that he does nice models at reasonable prices, these frequent 'mistakes' might begin to detract from his reputation. Maybe he looks in here to see how effective his strategy is? Maybe I should contact him again in case he doesn't? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffnut Thorston Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Not ebay, but here's a 1970's vintage, Tri-ang / Hornby 16 tonner, in a Lima HO scale box and the seller clearly doesn't realise, or hasn't checked what they are selling http://www.ehattons.com/106157/Lima_2822Lima_LN_Mineral_Wagon_in_BR_Grey_Pre_owned_Like_new/StockDetail.aspx A bit worrying from a big dealer! It is rather obvious, as the LIMA HO models were fitted with european couplings, smaller, and was there actually a LIMA HO BR 16 tonner? OK, it probably doesn't say "Hornby" on the underframe....but it most probably DOES say "Made In England"....LIMA was made in Italy! Have you let them know?......

Come to that it always says Lima on their products too. It always said "Tri-ang Made in England" on the underside of the body when the chassis was die-cast and the body underside could be seen.... In 1963 the plastic chassis was introduced, and the base of the body could no longer be seen.... The original plastic chassis had "Tri-ang Made in England" on the underside.... The "Tri-ang" was removed around 1965, with the Tri-ang Hornby "Amalgamation" and the selling around this time of some "un-branded" toy train sets....the "Tri-ang" was also removed from the Super 4 track at this time.... I think this wagon would be on a "Made in England" on the underside chassis. "Hornby" branded chassis came later and I think were a different design?

Il Grifone Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 There could well be no maker's name on the later Tri-ang plastic underframe - all my examples of this horror have ended up in the bin! (The later ones aren't much better! - My (un)favourite is the clasp brake, vacuum fitted 'Midlandish' one with the wooden solebars - one survives under a MSV (for now*). I was going to detail it but decided it wasn't worth the effort (dimensionally challenged). * Putting it on eBay is a waste of time - Boot Sale? (Might get 50p for it!)

I was going to detail it but decided it wasn't worth the effort (dimensionally challenged). I may be wrong but I think that underframe was based on an NER type, used on fish vans c1911. I don't think Hornby ever produced the matching van body. It includes the curb rail, so all the Hornby bodies mounted on it effectively had 2 floors.

Il Grifone Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Further to the above post, it does indeed appear to be the NER underframe. I was going by the short brake lever and passing resemblance to an MR underframe (Meat van IIRC). The rectangular number plate is also reminiscent of the Midland. It looks very out of place under an MSV! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
