RMweb Premium Northmoor Posted November 15, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 15, 2021 Appearing in another thread, AC Models (a very good shop by the way) has lots of small job lots but they are all jumbled, as if they've been posted by someone who literally doesn't know one end of a loco from the other. Every listing has locos with the wrong tenders, which appear in other listings. You'd have to buy all the lots to be sure of matching all the locos. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/acmodels2/m.html?item=154692066193&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Secondly, who treats their models like this? So many of them look like proceeds of a burglary - which of course they could be and AC Models is selling on behalf of their rightful owner who doesn't have the inclination to repair them all - with broken buffers, smoke deflectors, couplings, cabs, conrods missing...... 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mol Browsing through layouts on the Bay is an interesting excersise; you will be educmacated as to what many people think a model railway layout is and exactly how enduring the 6x4 trainset format had proven itself to be. I think it was 1965, so I'd have been 13, that I became aware that a big rectangular baseboard was not the way to go, and that layouts were better placed on what are effectively wide shelves along walls around rooms, which offered easy access to both continuous run and end to end layouts, and have been preaching this gospel ever since, apparently wasting my time... Another benefit of such browsing is that you will emerge with a much more positive view of your modelling skills! Some of the road cameos on this example are not that bad, but even so... 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
