Hroth Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I see the "Not Quite a Terrier" Nellie repaint has been relisted. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116115174483 At £119.99 it's slightly cheaper, but still not attractive! 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, not £128 worth (including P&P) of cute, but still a nice paint job. Do you think an offer of 99p is worth a try? 1 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pubs were full of old timers who all, to a man, stated unequivocally that they would never pay a pound for a pint of beer. And, to a man, were unequivocally there the evening of the budget paying a pound for a pint of beer. Then it was £1.20, and so on. These were the same characters who, to a man, stated unequivocally that they would never pay five bob for a packet of fags. Guess how that worked out for them...

PieGuyRob Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285776675022? How much for a Lima dmu? For £25 extra you can get a 3 car Bachmann one from Kernow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top dollar for these used to be about thirty five quid, still is in my opinion but I suppose you could add a tenner for the DCC and light fitment although an analogue dinosaur like me would rip all that out anyway. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playworn condition please see all pics half broken cab perfect for restoration project please see the pictures. But perhaps I was only looking at the chassis, which apparently has been snapped in half and half of it chucked in the bin! But maybe there is another listing that says that there is a restoration project for a 'choose your own cab' model? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that because you're not at home, or is it like my motorcycle parts store where I can risk triggering an avalanche of junk whilst hunting for something? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
