Hroth Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Yes, the Mk3s were introduced with TT in 1957 and were migrated to OO/HO at the same time. You can see the burned-out coach has the "half-moon" Mk2B coupling. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I see things priced at way over their market value, I tend to suspect that the "sale" (whether or not goods actually change hands) is part of a money laundering operation. That's provided it sells of course. £537.90 for tracked postage to Australia. For that I'd expect it hand delivered! The all up price I mean.

When I see things priced at way over their market value, I tend to suspect that the "sale" (whether or not goods actually change hands) is part of a money laundering operation. That's provided it sells of course. If you look at this guy's profile, he has 1100 items for sale, most of which are seriously overpriced. However, in the last 3 months he's only sold 5 items at modest prices, and since joining in 2006 only 206 items. But he has 175 followers, and many of these overpriced items have large numbers of watchers. So what's his purpose? Listing all these items must be a lot of work but don't seem to be generating any revenue. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen certain Lima locos sell for a fair bit, class 20s I see go for a pretty penny, certain 37 liveries too, but £115 for a Lima Deltic? Got one in a small job lot last year (was only the Lima Deltic and two Triang/Hornby locos), which a family friend had bought for me, for the grand total of a tenner! Granted, there was no box, so they couldn’t sell it for awfully much! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve bought one short wheelbase Bachmann wagon at £31 - a cement wagon, to use as a “template” to ‘upgrade’ cheaper wagons that come into my hands! And it was the cheapest version I could find in my local model shop (not eBay), the next cheapest being £35! Likewise I have bought one Rapido ferry van, to act as a template to improve all those Triang Hornby examples I’ve picked up cheaply off eBay. I found myself a Bachmann ‘standard’ mineral wagon for £13 a couple of weeks ago at The Locoshed - that will be my template when building Airfix/Dapol kits of the same. I feel extremely itchy about paying £40 for a short wheelbase OO wagon - £5 more and I could buy the same in O gauge, and that seems better value for money in terms of what’s in your hands in exchange for the same number of cake tokens! Which was the argument my friend put forward when we attended the Barnsley Model Show and he looked at retail prices for models for the first time in around 10 years. Food for thought - if only O gauge didn’t take up so much room! Steve S 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one did not disappoint! Except it does have a good box! And lots of pre-installed carpet fluff - what could go wrong? But the starting price is fair at 99P, so anyone putting in a bid, isn't being ripped off. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
