John_Hughes Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Presumably he knows it's a Class 58 because the number starts with 47. Obvious, really. As I'm a kindly soul at heart I dropped him a note; he says a correction will be up shortly. I suspect that he knows very little about railways - he says he's selling off his father-in-law's stuff.

I've been known to drop the seller a note - you get a wide variety of responses, from thanks to remarks about anoraks, but many never respond, never change their advert.

surfsup Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Have to say though, whilst theres some incredibly high priced items on Ebay like that 117...I was once lucky enough to pick up a full 9 Car GNER Mk3 rake - the newer type Mk3s with ex Limby TGS...For the grand total of...£35 The only modification done to them? The previous owner had printed out and stuck NX White Stripe vinyls onto them...Simples! So now i have a pretty cheap ex East Coast rake to haul around in either XC Summer Saturday HST Set...Or as an ex stored ex GNER rake heading for FGW Refurb!

Il Grifone Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I was amazed by this trash even being offered for sale (let alone the exorbitant postage/packing charge!). http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-Triang-OO-Gauge-3-Hole-Coach-Wheels-C-x1-Spares-/260749363127?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3cb5df87b7 Then I realised someone had actually bought one!

mojo Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Sorry but I don't know how to post a direct link to an ebay item, BUT look at this one! Item # 150637867544 It looked to me to be a static model which usually have difficulty fetching £5. After I and several others asked if it was motorised he added extra information saying he now thought it was a static model. By that time the price had reached £8+. Someone thought it worth £20 + postage!! Maurice C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordhinton Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 would you pay around £60 each for them? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JOB-LOT-12-Hornby-LOCOS-2-TRIANG-LOCOS-GC-ANIB-/250865338199?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3a68bd4757#ht_5372wt_1139 i certainly would not...

plarailfan Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I noticed a Del Prado "Brighton Belle" coach made £9 recently, perhaps the UK models in the series, are becoming sought after. Thing is, they are 1:160 scale, so technically, too large to mix with the usual 1:148 British outline r-t-r models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Sorry but I don't know how to post a direct link to an ebay item, Just Cut and Paste the url of the Bay item (or whatever) into your reply. The computer does the rest. Note - 1 : 160 is smaller than 1: 148 I have a rather attractive Del Prado DSB class P 4-4-2 on my computer desk. I didn't pay anything like £20 (or even £9) for her!

sionisais Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I know R-T-R Adams Radial tanks are sought after but isn't £350 quid for one in plain BR black on the high side?!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Not really railway, though it is roughly H0 scale, but have I missed something with this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Matchbox-Major-Pack-M9-Tractor-Front-Trailer-/270777618154?pt=UK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN&hash=item3f0b9a8eea That is one of the cheaper ones! (up to well over £200!!!), but I loved the "....very good condition with paint loss all over"! Trailers without doors are usually about 50p, or less, at a boot sale.

devonseasider Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 http://tinyurl.com/3qkvone Just one more of many from the Cumbrian Coast. Why does anyone ever buy anything at these prices?

Il Grifone Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I seem to remember seeing something like the bogie steam loco in Continental Modeller in the past (An African layout IIRC). in the meantime, another optimist - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KIRK-OO-GAUGE-8842-PLASTIC-LNER-FULL-BRAKE-COACH-KIT-MT-/220826835766?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item336a4e1b36 Apparently it's powered by 12V DC ??? Coopercraft list this at £13.50 on their website! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
