Martin S-C Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Looking at his other stuff, some is fair price but some he just randomly seems to add a percentage for no real reason. He has a few Silver Fox locos inthere too if you have £150 spare. There's a Hornby newish Pullman coach for £90 and a VERY RARE clerestory for £50. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Airfix Railway System (RTR) included two American locomotives, supposed to be models of the two locomotives from the Promontory Point Golden Spike ceremony, at the joining of the Central Pacific and and the Union Pacific Railroads, the first American coast to coast Transcontinental Railroad. Jupiter is the CPRR loco. The UPRR loco is No. 119. The two locomotives share many parts, the main difference being the coal burning type smoke stack on No. 119, and the wood burning balloon stack on Jupiter. The tenders are both loaded with wood though. The motor is in the tender, and the locomotive driving wheels are driven by a shaft from the tender. Pick up is from both loco and tender. The headlight works. There were also two CP RR passenger cars, with operating features (a Wild West Adventure set…) a UP RR closed freight box car, and a UPRR short caboose. http://www.airfixrailways.co.uk/ARSwildWestAdvSet.htm http://www.airfixrailways.co.uk/ARSwildWestFreightSet.htm All the models were made by Bachmann. The ones made for Airfix had the Airfix (Fleischmann type) coupling fitted, instead of the US Horn Hook couplings on Bachmann models. So, The listed loco is Airfix, made by Bachmann… Edited October 2, 2021 by Ruffnut Thorston More added. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like its some kind of essential basic starter set. They they get upset when dealers contact them and offer, not £800 but £200 because a) its not worth £800 to start with and b) dealers gotta put bread on the table too. There also seems to be this line of thought that train sets increase in age the longer you leave them in damp dusty conditions - like wine. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 It's the same with most things. I've lost count of the amount of classic cars where the owner thinks that it will double in value for every year they leave it outside under a tree and filled with rubbish. Then there's the mythical bloke down the pub who says that the number plate is worth at least a couple of grand... Roll forward a couple of decades, owner dies, relatives put the house up for sale and call in the scrap man. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards. Rich A curious "model", it appears to be compressed lengthways and just odd. The tender is bonkers, the livery and lettering likewise. I wonder where it originated? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
