RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted October 4, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 4, 2023 When my brother passed away at the beginning of this year amongst the things left in his estate was a motley collection of diecasts none of them worth very much, in my estimation less than £100. So I took them to a few traders I know at a local toy fair and they all offered the same, about £50 (and that was mates rate). My niece, who was the executor, decided to dispose of them through Hattons. They offered £159 for the lot and even sent a box to put them in. There was nothing special in the models themselves, mostly Atlas editions worth about a fiver each at most on a good day. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought not. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235228305502?hash=item36c4b3185e:g:uRYAAOSwJI1lFBft Being honest, I like models like that, as odd as it looks, it’s something that some mad person has thrown together and was likely very proud of. Pretty sure I saw the same seller trying to sell a Rosebud/Dapol Prairie, built on top of a Triang L1 4-4-0 chassis, a rear bogie added to make a 4-4-2, within the same price range, fun little things which, in my eyes at least, are worth saving just for the novelty of it. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted October 6, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 6, 2023 Johnster looked at it and thought ‘what is the point of smoke-lifting plates on a loco that runs smokebox trailing’. Really, Johnster, that’s the only problem you have with it? 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Darius I think the seller is trying to avoid the seller fee on the price of the layout by describing the whole thing in the advert but selling the coach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
