industrial Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Well for £52.50 you'd think they could include the roof! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-D-S-KIT-BUILT-00-GAUGE-12Ton-VENT-VAN-BRASS-/400407347953?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item5d3a2342f1 You mean like this one which is Blacksmith which I have pointed out to him but D&S is worth more money so you can rip fools off.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-D-S-KIT-BUILT-00-GAUGE-LOWMAC-BRASS-WAGON-/400407347718?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item5d3a234206 also some parts are not put on it as well.

Horsetan Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 The apparent lack of solder traces on both half-built models does lead me to wonder whether they have been assembled with superglue rather than solder..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted March 23, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2013 I don't think I've ever seen the going described as "sticky"! I don't want to take this thread too far OT but that does remind me of an occasion at Arlington Texas (between Fort Worth and Dallas). I went to a couple of race meetings there with the Head of Household and one time after prolonged rain on the (alleged) all-weather course, the official going was 'Sloppy' - I jest not!

RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted March 23, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2013 Another two bidder fight; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Westward-5400-6400-or-7400-class-cast-white-metal-locomoitve-kit-/151012984163?ViewItem=&ssPageName=ADME%3AB%3AWNA%3AGB%3A1123&item=151012984163&nma=true&si=HO%252FBzr9iICdyajvEQewywXmWkLc%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Perhaps they're unaware that Bachmann are bringing one out? I've bought three over time at around £45 each. But now after the announcement I might put them up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 23, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 23, 2013 Perhaps they're unaware that Bachmann are bringing one out? From the description: However now selling as a. I need the money for a foreign holiday, b. because (very shallow of me) Bachmann will be doing the 6400 as a ready to run engine. Can't say fairer than that.

Clearly the Hornby T9 has kicked the bottom out of the kit-built market for such machines. The seller here is an occasional RMwebber, and I would think this would be a decent buy. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300878770718&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:GB:1123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the guy doing them doesn't have a website, so you have to catch him at model railway shows in the SE, or get into snail mail, but you need to have his details first as... he doesn't have a website. IIRC about £6 a pair for painted ones now. It's POSSIBLE the winning bidder knows and likes this product, so the total cost of 2 pairs of crew this way incl p/p is cheaper than going to a show if you want some quickly?

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 24, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24, 2013 I'm not completely sure what sort of loco this is, 'though it looks a bit like a Jinty, but might be LNER instead.

Vanders Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 OK a different seller but along the scraped theme. As far as "scrapped" locos go it's not the worst I've ever seen, to be fair. I just wish people would look at pictures of the scrap line. It's not like they're rare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted March 25, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 25, 2013 More professional weathering.

I love the polished brass dome and bulled up white buffers in the middle of the muck! I take it the brown patches are supposed to be rust (ancient FIAT style), but the greenish slime on the front of the running plate? The departmental train is actually not too bad, apart from the pedantic point that these vehicles were painted black (later red).
