Guest Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The seller is stating that he is listing the item as 'used', just because she's been fitted with a decoder. The item is second hand and therefore qualifies as 'used' anyway. At least one other item has this statement, but is unboxed. Sorry if I wasn't clear before. Thanks!

Mel_H Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'm mildly puzzled as to who might wish to shoot an M&S boss. Sainsbury executives wishing to corner the market in ready made sandwiches? Disgruntled pensioners unable to find an exact replacement for their favourite cardigan? Bulletproof, maybe. Rustproof, not. :-( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Hornby.... The two Grey wagons are Tri-ang Railways Transcontinetal (TC) Series flat cars. (I wonder if the pins are originals...not so common). One looks like it has had the deck painted brown. The other two "Lima" (?) "Salmon" coloured bogie bolter C wagons look to lack any printed numbers, etc., Tri-ang made similar wagons. Possibly came from starter sets where they probably had a car load... I really cannot comment on the load, as that is not by Tri-ang...

RMweb Premium petethemole Posted January 29, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 29, 2014 The original hula hoop craze was 1958. I remember them being introduced to PE lessons at primary school, presumably on the grounds that because they were popular the kids would take to them. It seemed to work.

industrial Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Yes I know they have a "Name" http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131097516601?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 but it has been started so the collectors will not be after it and the chassis is to S4 so the spacers could be missing for OO but £113 for it is over the top when you can get a new one for £72.00 http://www.rtmodels.co.uk/dsc_2751.jpg and will be more up to date to build as well.
