Il Grifone Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 That just might account for it not booting up . I had thought of that. No OS does make it difficult! I doubt it comes with a drive since the excuse is 'security reasons' (why this should need the removal of the RAM escapes me) It was probably removed before the auction.

shortliner Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Good god! Somebodies hopefull! Item number: 370487681232 - STUNNING is right! Edited January 1, 2012 by shortliner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted January 1, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Good god! Somebodies hopefull! Item number: 370487681232 - and so rare that there are two more on there! One is about half that and the other is a hell of a lot less But the one you mention is different from the other two - it has the TR logo and is therefore rare. The lowest priced one also has damage to the cabside transfers. Admittedly, some of his BIN prices do look a little on the high side. There is some rare Triang Transcontinental stuff out there. I once sold some Transcontinental TT items and was staggered by the price I got. (About 10x that I was expecting..........)

Il Grifone Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Gostude again! Rare transfer on an uncommon model (possibly a last ditch try by Tri-ang to unload a loco that didn't sell?) Ill chosen products (not just trains) are always likely collector's items (Dublo Co-Bos for example). This is not to say that any old junk will be collectable, of course.

RMweb Premium Trainshed Terry Posted January 1, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 1, 2012 OK for that price I would like the other part of the loco to go with it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/260921811708?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Terry.
