Sjcm Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Got an offer for the duff King Arthur with the wrecked connecting rods now😂. I'm getting a bit paranoid that EBay think I'm their main purchaser of tat. Cheap tat, guilty as charged but I draw the line at high priced tat (unless it's a hand-crafted birdsnest) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jol Wilkinson Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Why would you pay this for an OO LNWR Coal Tank from a K's kit when you can buy a new Bachmann version for £100 or so. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255989244643 Mind you a look at TMC's website shows they must have been taking some sort of illusory substance as they have others at similar money and an unbuilt K's kit at over £200. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jol Wilkinson Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 As a modeller of the LNWR I appreciate nice, well built models but here is another seller who has been sniffing something they shouldn't. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203948398322 "beautifully made and painted" and "In need of repair". Otherwise the description is reasonable and even if you model P4 gauge, not worth a low bid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if you want £175 for your loco, spending a tenner or so with Peters Spares for a new set is a worthwhile investment? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
