There has to be a going rate for such things? And don't say whatever some schmuck is prepared to pay! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted February 8, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) “Murphy Models” Enterprise coaches A bit cheeky of the seller given that Murphy Models never produced these models. They admit that they are repainted Hornby shortie Mk3s with a DVT conversion. All fair to average conversions but not worth the asking price in my view. At least they are not described as “kit built”. Cheers Darius Edited February 8, 2022 by Darius43 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a complete Wrenn N2 chassis underneath a whitemetal kit. Wills? Gem? Probably worth bidding on it for the chassis alone, if you have a 3-rail HD N2 you wish to modernise! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can even see the crackle marks in the paint as the chassis expands At Both Ends!!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hroth Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) I just had a look at his other offerings, mainly US outline boxcars (though there is also a Heljan Class 15). MrWolf might like the motorcycle service manual though even with the manual presumably in front of him, the vendor finds it difficult to spell the marque correctly...

Thanks @Hroth, a Velocette s Venom service manual for a fiver? Even if a reprint is a serious bargain. If he'd spelt it right, it would have been snapped up. But it doesn't appear if you search "Velocette". It's on its way to the wolf's lair Cheers! RW 8 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if it's the one I'm thinking of, it's on rails of Sheffield ebay page. It has been commented on a couple of times, myself included. I think the last time is a couple of pages back. Check out page 1214 with photos of the 2 31's that fell onto the north cicular in the 80's! Good for a giggle, as even the real thing suffered mazak rot, so is based on a real example! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
