Ruffnut Thorston Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Madness? Yes. I fell for it. But a kit I have been after for years! Sorry. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141693167565?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649 It is a nice loco...I can't say I blame you! Is that some Riverossi bits in the box, wheel and coupling/ connecting rods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Probably the worst example from the Mary Shelley school of Railway Modelling seen so far!!

Possibly worth it for the bits (just)? Edited June 22, 2015 by Il Grifone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bits look like they're from something German (Trix Express* Class 80?), rather than Rivarossi, and somewhat heavy for a J88. * Judging by the generous wheel flange.

andytrains Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 It is a nice loco...I can't say I blame you! Is that some Riverossi bits in the box, wheel and coupling/ connecting rods? I'll let you know about those parts when it arrives. As for the J88, as I said, I have been after one for years. Dart Castings/MJT, who now have the Falcon Brass range are reviewing the kits but the J88 in their range is not currently available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 .... the J88 in their range is not currently available. Neither is any other loco kit. ....a working plaster model. I thought a working plaster was something you applied after stabbing yourself with a scalpel.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG John Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Anyone want to buy a 7mm Coopercraft wagon kit without wheels for more than the current improved Slaters version with wheels? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/O-Gauge-model-railway-kit-GW-seven-plank-open-wagon-/121685479664?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c550510f0 If it sells, maybe I should sell the one I've just bought for £4 plus £4 postage, rather than building it!

Just done that! - pushing two pins through a bogie (or truck if you prefer) to convert an Athearn Reefer (yet another one!) to 3 point suspension (to cure the 'wobbles' that these suffer from).

I must confess that I've never heard of a working plaster model. Another house clearance chancer. Its an Atlas editions display model. 1:100 scale (ish) made of plastic, detail is not outstanding but fair. similar to the current GBL display models (cept smaller) - sold 4 recently for all of £3.50. think they cost me me in bubble wrap to send Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the bids started going up, I wondered just what the bidders thought they could do with them? Maybe the bidders have similar damaged models like you. Some of the leftover parts like cabsides are never going to be available separately. On the other hand, some of the bidders might have been driving up the bid just for fun, guessing - correctly in these cases - that they wouldn't get stuck with the leftovers.

Thane of Fife Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 But it was constructed by an EXPERT, Tony, he obviously knows more about locomotives than I do. I hadn't realised that Derby built Shires. I also don't think the RCTS and Yeadon knew. Thane of Fife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodmin Bob Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 It could be considered as such, if it were wrapped in the original plastic? Surely that is 'as new' or 'mint' - whereas an item that is 'brand new' is one that one that has just been constructed or produced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
