If they take that little care over their listings (you can after all view your current lisings in control panel) then I never buy from them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted August 22, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 22, 2012 My wife used to collect TT but she never had anything like this. Can't believe there's a bid at £49.99 - it's not the Triang DMU but something modified, and then painted by David Blunkett Associates. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRI-ANG-TT-MAROON-DMU-RAILCAR-/180953740326?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item2a21aef426 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted August 22, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 22, 2012 If I wanted one I'd be bidding at around that price. Would probably end up at around £300+ maybe more. As I posted before "Possibly a tad dear, but the etched kit would have to cost £120+ to start with. I've been quoted £300+ for the professional building of something similar."..also add the wheels etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grovenor Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 That railcar looks to be bashed from the Triang coaches. And Yes, Kitmaster did do their coaches in TT, much better than the Triang ones, and Kitmaster also did the Royal Scot. Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith The Kitmaster Mk1's were the correct length, unlike the Triang shortie Mk1's. How I wish I'd kept my 10 Pullmans and 6 boxed blue/grey Mk1's............................ (Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I did find a couple of VERY rare TT transcontinental items in my stash a couple of years ago - thanks Ebay!)

Perhaps it's time to market them again or have the moulds etc. been lost ? That reminds me! It's about time I completed the kits I've got stashed away!

Horsetan Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 But considerably more effort than many ebayers, who can hardly describe the item on sale, let alone give a helpful background speak or write English properly.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted August 25, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 25, 2012 There, that's a bit more accurate. True - but I am still inclined to ascribe poor English to the poor education system not just the individual. I have heard too many stories of teachers whose English was more than slightly imperfect. Who allowed them to teach others? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
