Guest baldrick25 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 ...and yet the same seller has a second identical 'RARE' Mainline model for ...... £39.00 ( B.I.N.) and this one is only £8 postage .. It says its MIB so it can't be any different to the t'other one in the two posts above.. Gostude link2 Edit I note that the £174 is numbered 75033 , but Google, nor me, can find any record that this was ever made, so what's the chances its been renumbered, or in the wrong box, or body swopped with a later example from Kader, but not surely a Bachmann version....

The catalogue number 37052 was issued in 1977, but the model was subsequently renumbered to 75033 in 1983 along with traction tyres on the rear driving axle. I have a little unknown book that is a very rare and very hard to find. "Mainline and Airfix (G.M.R) Model Railways". A guide for the collector by Lewis Charles. ISBN 0 9514418 0 9. NOW out of print. As it list all catalogue numbers along with year of manufacture of the loco or coaches and wagons in particularly in question. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzyo Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Do I infer that Sharon has come to her senses and is looking for a trade-in? Olddudders, don't be so daft she cant afford to sell me, I want to trade her in as I'm fed up with her getting all the TV work! I can see the Mods coming to get me now. [Mod3 - You were right] OzzyO.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted May 12, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 12, 2011 Apart from the collector's price, (does anyone collect this stuff?) how does "some lining loss" equate with "MINT BOXED"? At least two people do (or did) as one went for £500 at auction in 1997 and another went for £235 in 2004 according to Ramsay's Guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted May 15, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 15, 2011 Would someone please explain to me why Matchbox Mk IV Ford Cortina's are suddenly fetching such ludicrous prices all of a sudden? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260779884406&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT They are worth tops a couple of quid for a really good example and that is something considering that most Matchbox models of the time came with paint chips and wonky wheels as standard out of the box!!!

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted May 16, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 16, 2011 It always baffles me when a really nice item, owned for an extended period, gets wrongly described - you expect that of folk outside the hobby, but not of an owner of such a nice model as this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Maunsell-Brake-First-Coach-Lawrence-Models-/190532573734?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item2c5ca05a26 He describes it as high-window, but clearly it is low-window, and as a Maunsell brake-first. It looks to me like a low-window pantry-brake-first to Dia 2551, of which two were built in 1928, to complete the Southampton all-first boat set. I hope it finds a good home. He seems to have correctly described the high-window composite he is also selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See how far down you read before the penny drops! So if I understand this correctly, and correct me if I am wrong here, this guy is selling a very crummy (being generous) photograph/negative of a D10xx Western which he thinks is actually a secret 'strategic reserve' type conspiracy as it contains parts of D0260? Whatever this guy is on, it sure as hell ain't this planet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
