PatB Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Why? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-Lima-SR-RAILCAR-TOTALLY-UNIQUE-/321904195004?hash=item4af2fc35bc:g:1gIAAOSw5ZBWL0X~ I can certainly see why someone might have built it (a fun way to use up stuff from the bits box) and whoever was responsible seems to have made a decent job of it and has ended up with an attractive, if freelance, model. Quite why someone wanted it badly enough to push the bidding to 33 quid from a reasonable start of under a tenner, though, is a little puzzling.

Something like that puts me off. It gives the impression that they can't be bothered, which then leads you to think what are they going to be like to deal with. Something else which leads me to the same conclusion is poor quality photos, (dark, out of focus or wrong orientation). (End of rant)! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE FANS DO NOT ROTATE WHEN THE HST IS RUNNING, MINOR ISSUE. Minor? Maybe. I disabled the fans in my HSTs as they really stop high potential speeds. I wouldn't say its that easy to fix though. "USED ONES WITH MANY MORE SERIOUS PROBLEMS HAVE REACHED £400+! ONE SINGLE CAR FETCHED £200..." i.e. "GIVE ME LOTS OF MONEY!!!" I know it is a rare item (but I think this is at the higher end of the price range); But the way it has been listing seems really unprofessional for a £500 purchase.
