RMweb Premium petethemole Posted July 16, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) My first reaction to this was WTF? Then I realised it would be a good way to introduce children to the concept of bustitution in a less upsetting way than that nasty Bulgy. And yes there is a prototype http://www.bifuteki.com/2011/10/things-were-diggin-super-cool-japanese-buses/japanese_buses_004/ Pete A link to the original would help this make sense! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tomica-No-156-Thomas-Bus-/291475699471?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43dd4e370f Edited to add link; not very with it today.

Thane of Fife Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Do people check the value of what they're buying?? A used set of Brassmaster's axle spacing gauges have just gone for £7.00 + £1.85 postage, a total of £8:85. They can be bought brand new for £5.00 + £1.50 postage, a total of £6.50. This is, according to my maths, £2.35 cheaper. Thane of Fife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is, according to my maths, £2.35 cheaper. Thane of Fife I don't think they do. I have a cut off point for everything I buy from ebay - usually around 50-70% of the cheapest shop price I am aware of for "new" and it amazes me when I "lose" something and its gone for well over RRP let alone actual "in the shop" price. Fools and money is one thing, I just wish they'd leave me to snap up some real-world-value kit ;-) Edited July 16, 2015 by Snofi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not uncommon for Brassmasters stuff to go some way over the odds, possibly because some people can't be bothered to deal direct with Brassmasters.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted July 16, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 16, 2015 Exhibition standard, apparently... I'd be expecting a bit more for that kind of money. £200 for a 4mm bus.

(The "kaydee type coupling" is of course an X2f.) I not sure whether it's supposed to be an F7 or an F9 (not that there is much difference) I also have a Marx F3A, which has a strong family resemblance (i.e. she probably came from the same factory in Hong Kong). (This originally had belt drive powered by a cr@ppy can motor and two short (very) stainless steel coaches (passenger and observation car.)

Il Grifone Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) Hull-KX (also used on Western Region for something) D9006_Pilmoor by robertcwp, on Flickr The '1' is the class of train (express passenger etc.), the 'A' an destination within the same region (probably London?) and the last two numbers refer to a specific train in the timetable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_reporting_number 1A20 is the code on Tri-ang's Hymek. The Hong Kong factory probably took it for the locomotive number (as the displays were sometimes set to later on, after they dropped the four digit codes) and slightly modified it.
