ozzyo Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Would this be considered as someones first attempt at scratch building? Or maybe modeling with a blow torch! http://www.ebay.co.u...=item35c1c192ee http://www.ebay.co.u...=item35c1c19d2f Not surprised that there non-runners, the tracks plastic.

Il Grifone Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 http://www.ebay.co.u...=item416e995ad5 I think the underframes, pickups and the couplings are probably the only Hornby Dublo bits.......and why would he think that a 3-rail loco -suitable only for very large radii - might sell for £175 after all these years ? Rare it certainly is Fifty years ago, I would have thought the obvious course for a Garrett, would have been the Kitmaster kit. Certainly an ingenious use for old junk, but £175?

The Nth Degree Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 It's probably a good runner due to the spotless chassis! http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3a79e450bb This has been for sale for about 2 years. I remember seeing it when I was just starting out. It must have cost him the sale price in listing fees by now! I got all of my Minitrix 27s for between £25 and £30, with boxes.

I purchased one a while back that was in mint condition, box too was like brand new for just under 20 quid, but for what he's asking is just taking the p*ss!

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted November 23, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2012 Can't blame the seller here.

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted November 24, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Identity crisis. Can't work out if it's a 25 or a 31. Go on, gimme a clue. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item35c1df2a55 OK here's a clue - there's a number on the side that starts 31. Then again there's a number on top that starts 7D so maybe it's an old LNER/GC diesal (his spelling not mine). And that's another thing that really annoys me. Not only do the educashun factories turn out uneducated dummies but they can't be bovvered to use spell checkers that come wiv the technology they're using.

Rare it certainly is The "Please Look" in the item description rings of desperation. And when will these people learn what 'rare' means? A limited edition is 'rare', something that has been bodged is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says "never been out of the box" Cannot understand where the certificate is though if it is still in the box!! Khris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted November 25, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 25, 2012 I suspect he purchased a number of them, then took one out of the box for the photograph. Perhaps he is keeping that one and is selling the remaining, unopened items. Just a throery, but it seems reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted November 25, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2012 Since when have Lima Class 31 handrails become gold dust? One set is at £6 already with some time still to go!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted November 25, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2012 If certificate is not in box I would question the provenance When you buy them at Warley you get a pristine tissue-wrapped box with a wagon in it and a seperate certificate is handed to you. Same with the limited edition wagon from the Midland Railway Society stand. Both are sitting close to this computer with the certificates on top!
