TimberValleyRailway Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Although I do like TMC, surely this is taking the ****: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266611859898? Not even a decent photo showing the damage! 3 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I've had a lot of good and competitively priced items from TMC, but this I wouldn't touch with a stolen barge pole, especially at that price. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold RFS Posted February 5 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 5 Another one with daft AI-generated description - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145594386881. It's a Bachmann Standard 4MT 75029 but you would never have guessed that from the description - "It is a replica of the BR 102 and features a tender, wheel configuration of 4-6-0, and a gauge of OO. The locomotive is from the brand B&R and comes in the colour black." Plus a set of all-vertical photos! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted February 6 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 6 Wonder how long it'll be before the entertainment value of AI descriptions begins to fade? Not yet, for sure, I'm thoroughly enjoying the nonsense; won't be buying anything described in such a manner anytime soon, though... What's a BR 102 (some sort of 1st-generation dmu, I suppose), and who are B&R? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
