In fairness 20 each is not bad when you look at what folks charge for triang and the like. There’ll be takers for reliveries improvements or other kit bashing or scratch building attempts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted April 3, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2023 I know, I know, it's Gosturd again but £124 for this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/364204911589 Some oxidation to the wheels? Cleaning that off is going to leave it with flats. I bought a better one the other day for under £50. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be less fuss to buy a new one from Model Rail for a similar price if you really wanted a tram engine!

Michael Hodgson Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Pity, not badly built. Even if you managed to clean the crud off the wheels, those motors won't pull the skin off a rice pudding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but power it up and it will smell like those Christmas lights that have been in your great aunt's attic since Churchill was still alive.... 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I think it could be improved by gluing a domed shirt-button on the front to represent a smokebox door! What I don't like is the 10 degree angle between the body and the chassis (see photo of underside) so its movement must be a crab-like waddle. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
