Horsetan Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 For this kind of money, shouldn't camouflage colours be matt? http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3cc570e76d That entirely depends on whether Matt approves. I note that the auction is partly entitled "..HO H0 Brass Panzer...". Certainly someone's having a laugh, or has the brass panzer to flog that thing!

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted April 26, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 26, 2012 And from the same seller: £75 and it has the wrong bogies................... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIANG-Hornby-R751-CLASS-37-CO-CO-TYPE-3-DIESEL-RAIL-BLUE-window-box-/300675142374?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item4601a292e6 Cheers, Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mcowgill Posted April 26, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2012 £75 and it has the wrong bogies................... They always did, the old class 37 shared a chassis with the 31, bogies and all. I think I'd do myself a mischief if the bogie steps were there in real life!

RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted April 27, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 27, 2012 I just love this quote from that last listing: Please note the model is sold as "UNBOXED" - however, I do sometimes use a blue Heljan model box with foam padding as an outer mailing box ie. we cover it with sticky tape and write on it. Some people who collect cardboard boxes have found our choice of packing material offensive, so if you would like a mint condition blue Heljan box to keep your bodyshell in we can send the whole lot in a larger cardboard outer mailing box. Please add £1 extra for postage and packing if you want this, or ask us to adjust the invoice before payment. "....people who collect cardboard boxes...."

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted April 28, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 28, 2012 surly this can't be right? http://www.ebay.co.u...=item53eadbdd78 and £8.00 postage. Not right for you or me, obviously, but there is still a market for such items among collectors - and I had a mate at the time with a Trix Trans-Pennine which we admired. Anyone re-discovering his old trains and wanting the extra car might now be prepared to pay this sort of price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) http://www.ebay.co.u...=item43af29c764 Is that a kit built crane or is it the Hornby version which has been repainted? It's N gauge so unlikely to be Hornby though it looks the same. EDIT Didn't notice this point has already been made (bit slow some times!)
