Really??? You can get one that works for this much!

The listing thumbnail shows the return crank fitted the wrong way round! Could be why there's no picture?

This gem http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/21T-HOPPER-WAGON-EXPERTLY-WEATHERED-suit-bachman-Dapol-b-/251226461914?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3a7e4396da has been "expertly weathered", and has the "unique" advantage of having different numbers on each side. The seller needs VERY LARGE PRINT to get his message across to us thickos, but hasn't managed to put his precious wagon on the track properly.......

It takes some doing to get the flange on the railhead without it falling off! :O

 

I would have thought some weathering is needed on the underframe too??

Which is a subtle way of saying he's c*cked up putting the transfers on.

 

Any betting that another one turns up from the same seller with a matching set of "unique" numbers?

 

Cheers,

Looks nice, but I didn't realise that there are different degrees of unique. “PROFESSIONALLY BUILT AND PAINTED BRASS KIT LOCO - A VERY UNIQUE ENGINE.”

 

Down the road and over the border is the "most unique" souvenir shop in Montana. Now that's very unique!

For this reason I never bother with these half-wits that use 'shouty' script!

I see it won't take first and second radius curves. Is that how the paint got chipped?
