thaddeus Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Yes So it isn't coal? Yes, they have factory's in the valleys where they whittle Hornby Class 5 replicas out of the raw black gold, all for £7.50... *sarcasm sarcasm aside, I suppose they are using carbon instead of talc as a filler - so, sort of coal-ish Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted July 18, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 18, 2013 Still the terms & conditions for the coal engine are not bad: Once I know for sure the item is not coming back to me I will refund all monies paid including p&p.

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted July 19, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2013 Not necessarily madness, but with all the interest on rmweb about Hornby 2BIL and eg Colin Parkes' work it's a bit sad to see this version carrying decals for the overlap period when they carried both 'SOUTHERN' and post 1956 coach crests. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-KIT-BUILT-EMU-DUMMY-POWER-CARS-VERY-NICE-/370857264740?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item5658d0c664 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rail-Online Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Could be CCW or Ratio. I did not realise CCW did 4mm stuff thinking they were just O gauge. How long ago and how big was the CCW 4mm range? Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 ..... long ago and how big was the CCW 4mm range? Not big; remember reading that their zenith was mostly in the 1960s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
