I fell off the stool when I saw this.

Nice take on the Cambrian crane kit but a p!ss take with the price.

 

I don't know, it does have greased up buffers.....

Very interesting something I come across now and again, something we are all subject too, been a lifetime hobby we collect (it might come in useful one day) vast amounts of model railway stuff not just locos & stock, which one day we or relatives have to get rid of?

 

Worth watching what it would go for, good way of getting rid of vast amounts of stuff quick, buyer collects no hassle transport

 

I've seen just as much thrown in a skip with sign saying "help yourself" skip was almost empty next day.

 

Looking at the photos there are quite a few items I reckon worthwhile bidding for

Looks like a large hoard of 'Will come in handy one day' items and leftovers from failed/abandoned projects....  

 

Currently £250 from a 99p start!

Definitely not "brand new"  :nono:

I have one of these, it was only available in a set and that was over 20 years ago so it is not even the original box!

 

Descriptions like these are just damn right misleading.

Listing does say 'ask any questions' - go on, I dare you to ask why?

Pedantic maybe, but does anyone have a suggestion as to why she is modelled in reverse gear? (Ignoring the return cranks which are both at the wrong angle.)

Which one of the 185,000 odd items are we concentrating on Andy?

 

Mike.
