Good lord how an old pocket rocket Class 06 is worth near enough £100, yes ONE HUNDRED POUNDS! Even as new it isn't worth that much. Can't wait for Accurascale, Cavalex or Rapido to do a brand new high fidelity version of this, to stop these chiseller's asking stupid prices on these. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may well be down to my ''old persons'' eyesight but the front right tender steps, decribed as missing, are actually there in the picture but appear a tad wonky. Also no clear picture of the described ''mazapest'' on the leading bogie which actually appears ok, ( again maybe just me being visually challenged) I wonder if this is a picture of the actual loco for sale or a ''stock picture''? Kind Regards, Rich 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swissrail Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I think it's hilarious that in describing a loco that sounds as if it's fit for the spares box, they mention that it's got a "very good box" as if that somehow remedies the situation! 1 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, as others have pointed, the box is good, throw the loco away, they only damage the box with their sharp wheel flanges and oil leaks...

I've one definite mazak-rot victim, the R2880 9F, which has a crumbling tender chassis. Its a former tender drive chassis which I still need to replace with something else. The loco is ok and has loco drive so the tender chassis is passive anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't resist telling this Ebay chiseller that bad news. Can't wait to see what he comes back with, if anything. Edit: I've just had this back from the seller... "Thank you for reaching out to us and highlighting this. I will pass it onto the relevant team in due course. Many thanks." So they didn't check before snatching a selling price out of thin air...and does no one contact anyone anymore? They always "reach out"!

If a collection doesn't have a full set of locos with mazak rot, it is obviously an incomplete collection. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted April 19, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 19, 2023 Not in the title, but he later describes it as a coach. The description gives no clue as to whether or not it actually runs, a particularly vital piece of information when it comes to any Mainline loco, not even the excuse that 'I can't test it because I haven't any facilities and have presumably never heard of a 9V battery'. I'm not in the market for a 4MT, but even if I were I'd pass on this one simply because of the seller's apparent lack of understanding of what it is and the lack of any meaningful information/ Good box, though... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
