RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted October 28, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 28, 2013 Strange, "I AM LOOKING FOR ABOUT £325 ON A BUY IT NOW" but no BIN button. Unfortunately, my eyes rebel against a block of text like that. :-/ Mind you 100% positive feedback on a couple of thousand sales. I've bought a couple of things from him with a satisfactory outcome, so I can only speak as I found. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably did have a BIN of £325 as well as a start price for an auction. However, once someone bids, the BIN option is removed automatically.

JohnGi Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Hmm I see he 'sold' this before....... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/kit-built-finescale-4mm-gwr-1838-2-2-2-2-2-2-hurricane-broad-gauge-locomotive-/221296553428?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item33864d6dd4 The one that was sold before is a different (though similar) engine. This one actually has photos, and can be seen posed on what seems to be proper broad gauge track. Photos are not brilliant, but it looks like a nice model. The two engines don't seem to have been that successful in reality. I suspect the models also would not have great traction due to lack of weight over the driving wheels, but that's just how the prototypes were designed. Thunderer was the first of a pair of locomotives (the other being Hurricane) built for the Great Western Railway (GWR), England, by R. & W. Hawthorn & Co. whose design was very different from other steam locomotives. In order to meet Isambard Kingdom Brunel's strict specifications, an 0-4-0 frame carried the 'engine', while the boiler was on a separate six-wheeled frame. The driving wheels were geared 10:27 in order to reduce the cylinder stroke speed while allowing high track speed, in line with the specifications. The locomotive was delivered to the GWR on 6 March 1838 and ceased work in December 1839[1] after running only 9,882 miles, but its boiler section was kept as a stationary boiler [ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhBBob Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Would you buy a model on the basis of only a line illustration, with no photos at all? Does the model even exist? Are bidders being taken for a ride? Even stranger are the words "theres 3 iterms (sic) pictures to follow in a few days i have a photo of the what it looked like in real life". I hope that the 'real life' picture is well detailed but i suspect it may be a B&W picture out of the paint shop in 19-hundred-and-frozen-to-death. It all seems very rushed - probably a cancelled order ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlswood Nob Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Good morning all Do people check prices of items before they bid? Recently a SE Finecast rebuilt LNER W1 kit went for £102, when the kit new from the supplier costs £94. Ordering direct will also get you the latest upgrades to the kit.
