Cleefy Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 "WAS AN EXCELLENT RUNNER IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, I HAVE GONE TO TEST IT AGAIN THIS MORNING BEFORE I PACKED IT AND ITS JUST DEAD, SO SELLING AS SPARES OR REPAIR." I wonder if the half inch of paint over everything including wheel treads and pickups has anything to do with it...? My guess is it just committed suicide... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he used the same photo twice !! The top picture is indeed the Trix loco as described*. The lower one is a Hornby Dublo N2 (post 1954 circa matt finish. In 1952 it would have been in prenationalisation livery (any of the the four!) and, in a set, came with a van, open wagon and brake van in matching livery. The BR livery sets had an additional tank wagon. *Someone has replaced the original puny trailing wheels. What is "In good ruinning condition. ?

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted October 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 13, 2012 The top picture is indeed the Trix loco as described*. It is now - it wasn't earlier today, being the N2 again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kintbury jon Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Not madness, but I can see this going for a fair bit: http://www.ebay.co.u...49#ht_732wt_932 Looks really nice, surprised the pantograph has not been removed though. It is going for £460 with 15 minutes to go! Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a unit and commision someone to spray it? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted October 17, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2012 Unrelated to our hobby - and in no way mad, but this item is interesting. As the proceeds are for a Swedish cancer charity, I hope the remaining few days see it go through the roof! http://www.ebay.com/...em=110959436247 This from the Nikon Rumors (sic) site. Usain Bolt's Nikon D4 sold for $7,300 in charitable eBay auction. Nikon Nordic matched that amount and contributed it to Cancer Society and Usain Bolt's Foundation for encouragement of education in Jamaica.
