RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted September 2, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 2, 2015 Not just the carp ..... but the price. Unbelievable. The twit has probably been looking at boxed lots at auction (I wouldn't be surprised if that junk came as part of one). Boxed lots are great fun provided you are careful and know what you're looking for/at, they can be a major trap for the unwary if you don't. Hence you can find a 'hidden' RG4 in the bottom of a box of junk and get the lot for 15 quid or all sorts of actually useful bits & pieces along with a half-built whitemetal kit etc for not too much more. Or you see idiots spending £200 on a box full of stuff they could get in a shop for not much over £120. I've had soem good stuff out of box lots (and some rubbish which has gone straight in the bin) but generally in the past what I've sold on has covered the cost of the entire lot - without nonsensical profiteering like that load of junk.

(I'm selling a Hornby DCC Ready A4 Chassis): "Hi my boyfriend has few doc trains and wants no if you can do dcc chassis thanks" Glenn My understanding is as follows. "Hi, my boyfriend has a few DCC engines, and would like to know if you can do a DCC chassis. Thanks." Or... "...a few DC engines..." This may have resulted from simply not knowing/understanding the concept of DC/DCC Ready/DCC Fitted models, which has resulted in confusion of the Girlfriend. As for the text-speak, that's unfixable.

Thane of Fife Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) The tender has been advertised for several months, like many of his kit built locos. He obviously doesn't believe in promoting quick turnover. Perhaps he spends his time playing with his Studebakers.

How many of us have partners that would know what DCC is? Best off saying I would like that specific item, or a hint - print out sitting on the coffee table etc, to avoid disappointment.

Don't think even that would work with my wife!! The usual response at birthday or Christmas is ''why do you want another train (she doesn't even call them locos) - you've got about 60 already - and they all look the same??''

I couldn't get away with that any more if I wanted to. Cue child saying loudly "Daddy! When did you get that WAGN liveried class 03?" or similar... A friend of mine used to smuggle new models into his railway room (ex garage). About every 6 months or so, she ventured out there, where she'd point out something & say 'that looks new'! His answer was that he'd 'had it for ages'. Indeed so, if you counted any time within the last 6 months as 'ages'. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Grifone Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I get variations on the theme - "You have too many already!", " Not more trains!", "They all look the same!", "I don't like wagons!"* etc. * Turin has a goods yard next to the cemetry, so wagons have unfortunate associations for SWMBO. Being various shades of mucky red-brown didn't help. She does appreciate the superioty of steam locomotives over Diesels and electrics however. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhBBob Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I get variations on the theme - "You have too many already!", " Not more trains!", "They all look the same!", "I don't like wagons!"* etc. Happily as time goes by, the Radley shop has taken over in SWMBO's life.......handbags, umbrellas, etc., etc.. Even the purchase of the occasional 'top' garment has turned into a regular occurrence. The expression which starts with ' I thought it would go with....' is enshrined in her life. Hence the need for me to 'store' the rest of the rolling stock in drawers ! That which will not fit on a 7ft long traverser board with six tracks Rationalisation - not a word we use here !!
