EBay madness

Trying to spot the reason this is fetching a tidy price:

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/oo-locomotives-/261364463644?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3cda89381c

 

currently failing though...

 

Also, anyone for a Repton thats being painted black?

You've obv missed the additional info where the seller has added they've trawled ebay and say this is the best example.  Clearly the bidder with a score of 3 is impressed!

Apparently modified for Hornby 3 rail too, certainly a power bogie under one of the brake vehicles. I wonder if the bidder has read all the details?

Hopefully, an end to this particular madness.

Posted elsewhere, but transfers are now available to do 67026, so It's worth a pro-repaint rather than inflated collectors ebay prices. (Especially as new 67's can be had for about £70!)

 

Cheers,

Mick

HI

One thing are Hornby not releasing this later this year anyway?

 

No, they're doing one of the Royal Claret locos. I believe the press release had the wrong loco described (67026 Diamond Jubilee instead of 67006), but the picture was correct. It's not a limited edition, but will only be sold via the Hornby website

 

Cheers,

Mick

Well painted  :no:  :jester: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121248968015&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1120. Also looks the chassis has ben extended to fit the body. 

 

How could someone spend the time applying Methfix transfers and lettering it to that high standard when the base paint coat was so thickly applied!

Hello and welcome to this auction for:.

A triang 5 car brighton belle 3 rail set for Hornby dublo 3 rail running all in good original boxes fantastic set.

The power car runs spot on,and all items in fantastic condition,you wont see another set like this,rear power dummy car .all in all a very nice set to run on your dublo layout

 

 

OK...

 

Boxes...if original (I doubt it...possibly reproductions...) the labels are re-done. NOT Tri-ang style at all. And the outer box is a nevverwazzer!

 

The cars do not seem to have beeen modified as in the magazine article from the 1960s... just windows in the brake cars and a motor bogie from somewhere...

 

Ouch for the bidder I think!

Right,I'm getting in on this. £20 is far too much, I reckon I could do a better job. I have a 60w soldering iron too
