Horsetan Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Not exactly madness? However it probably qualifies for a WTF rating. 'Pick up' only. Is it a layout, or some large lump of metal? No it's 3 Mikes Models kits.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/mikes-models-white-metal-kits-coal-state-buffers-loading-gauge-new-ho-oo-railway/291950680915?_trksid=p2060778.c100276.m3476&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140725133651%26meid%3Ddb7aec6153d34f28b71f362afbb82832%26pid%3D100276%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D381850226294 Clear sign of someone who can't be ar*ed to post them.

Andrew F Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I once bought a Collett coach from a toy fair thinking it was a Stanier. Someone had put an LMS transfer on it. I've just written to someone on e-bay who was selling four Mainline Collett's but listed them as Lima Mk1's; nice coaches, the Colletts not the Lima ones or that old Hornby Stanier for that matter.

Well they do share lots of bits with the contemporary Hornby Collett coaches (and the Maunsells as well come to that). I think the Gresley coaches only share the floor moulding. (Ignoring box, packing, wheels etc.) Perhaps it's the wrong box and says 'Collett' on that? (It is Gostude after all....)

I don't think you'll be needing that since there are supposed to be decent etched versions on offer these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
