MrWolf Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 It's all very well spending hours trawling eBay for overpriced misrepresented rubbish, but you have to wade through an awful lot of good, reasonably priced (well, perhaps justifiable with a little effort in some cases) interesting model railway items and there is a genuine danger of actually buying it. You can end up skinting yourself whilst hunting for cr@p that you would never buy!! 2 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The professional builder was apparently a retired engineer. I've been a professional several things, but it doesn't make my models professionally built. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John Besley Posted October 28, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 28, 2022 On another issue re ebay.... I've brought a number of usefully items recently but all of them are showing as still in transit (other vans are avaliable) meaning I can't leave well deserved feedback... How do you resolve this any ideas anyone? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
