RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted July 11, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 11, 2013 I like how it is kit built and has a factory fitted decoder. Not to mention "Professionally repainted, decaled and numbered", but still mint, boxed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsetan Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) "Gostude" is so-named because he collects and runs Studebaker and other old American cars. Here's his Farcebook page, plus one of his cars. I think he may originate from "Down Under". And another one from the same stable! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bachmann-32-780-KIT-BUILT-NETWORK-RAIL-CLASS-37-0-LOCO-97304-MINT-DCC-mv/330804298657 Meanwhile, the proper kit-built stuff is offered at somewhat more stratospheric levels. I wonder if Larry Goddard ("Coachmann") recognises some of his past work: You could buy a secondhand car for this ....also this... ....and this! Oh, and here I am brazenly making a mark-up on a used motor that was cheaper when new, but I'll claim it as "new" anyway... - correct me if I'm wrong, but that obvious blobby solder tag wouldn't be on a brand-new motor.....!

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted July 11, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 11, 2013 You could buy a secondhand car for this ....also this... ....and this! Not that I'm defending our "friend", but I personally don't think those prices are too way off the mark when you consider their master builder provenance, compared with other 4mm coach builders they are not that far wide of the mark. The problem I have with him is, assuming they were bought at auction, he will probably have pushed a genuine modeller who wanted the coaches for his own use out of the bidding, and then resells them over the odds.

I think he may originate from "Down Under". I think the majority of 'anglos' from Down Under originally started from 'Up There' ! Not to mention our heritage came from pilfering so we were sent 'down under' by order.. Cheers, Gary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted July 12, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 12, 2013 Now this may be a decent starting price - but beware. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-VITRAINS-CLASS-47-COLLECTION-/290944987649?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item43bdac3201 Not only does the seller have a reputation of fat zero, he also lacks the instruction sheets to go with the locos. Not quite right, I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
