RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted March 8, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 8, 2012 Bonkers. This kit sold for £85.50 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290676847102?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 It can be bought currently from CSP for £46.25. (according to their website) It defies logic. Perhaps I should get all those brass etched coach kits from the bottom drawer and put them up! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) <p> Er, the chimmney is a clue about what type of engine this is........ But all that clag has to come out somewhere... Bonkers. This kit sold for £85.50 Maybe but there seem to be quite a few others at currently reasonable prices. So I'd wait and see if the same madness applies to them all.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 8, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 8, 2012 I know the more subtle distinctions between different types of trains escape the average person, but this description amused me: http://www.ebay.co.u...=item1c2492b45e Er, the chimmney is a clue about what type of engine this is........ But if your ebay handle was "toymaker*11" you'd obviously know all about such things, now wouldn't you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

micklner Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I agree but there a lot of recent examples. e.g Tenders at over £35 each Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Another 'very rare' item. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OO-gauge-U-K-Buffers-RARE-/150769595581?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item231a9174bd#ht_500wt_1362 The seller is right, it is Trix and it does normally come on a piece of track - and normally costs about a pound complete!

P Pricewise we would expect nothing less. Another gem from our friend in Cartmel, who seemingly can't be bothered to put up pictures when he lists. It's a poor show that they aren't there. No doubt he'll put some up later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely no 'serious Triang collector' needs pictures when he's assured us it has original style couplings. Isn't that the main selling point with Nellie?

RMweb Gold RFS Posted March 9, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2012 Not railway-related but surely this takes the biscuit! An undated 20p coin - on tails side only! It has the date just on the heads side - as they all do. But some mug has been fooled and has already bid for it. You have to laugh .... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Undated-20p-Coin-Tails-Side-/280839981096?pt=UK_Coins_BritishDecimal_RL&hash=item41635e0828 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to laugh .... http://www.ebay.co.u...=item41635e0828 According to the Royal Mint there are less than 250,000 of these in circulation, and they are worth 20p. Incidentally some 20p coins do have the date on the tail rather than the head, but not this pattern. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted March 10, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2012 I can't find my picture at present, but the Ulster Transport Authority did at one time in the 1960s operate an ex LMS NCC WT class 2-6-4T complete with tender on an experimental basis. Apart from the livery and having the tender copupled the other way round, it was not unlike the e bay item that "LNWR lives on" has found. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the livery and having the tender copupled the other way round, it was not unlike the e bay item that "LNWR lives on" has found. There are 2 colour pics (sorry can't copy them as they're copyright) in 'Irish Railways In Colour - A second glance 1947-1970'. By Tom Ferris, Midland Publishing ISBN 1 - 85780 - 019 -2 page 141, loco and tender both in lined black. I'd never seen anything like it until I bought the book some years ago!
