andytrains Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Oh I don't know, I know a couple of women drivers who live in a perpetual fluffy, kitten infested world of loveliness (in their own minds of course) who would find a set of flower themed alloys a must have accessory to fit to their fairymobiles. There are always some for whom the real world simply doesn't exist. Plus the annoying one around here in here pink Fiat fart00 with black eyelashes above the headlights.

andytrains Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 'Pope's Advisor' has this unusually described 'tractor and trailer unit' for sale.

RMweb Premium JDW Posted February 9, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 9, 2014 Not sure if this really counts as "madness" in the traditional sense, but £50 for the pair, I'd say it's certainly good value... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/lima-class-37-drs-no-37610-and-lima-class-37-drs-no-37611-/281258548076?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item417c50db6c Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm sure all the watchers are RM Webbers) Probably commented on before but nearly £300 for a 'nellie' is crazy http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIANG-Hornby-R359-0-4-0-PRIMARY-INDUSTRIAL-TANK-LOCO-/370489383877?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item5642e35bc5 there's also one at nearly £400 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIANG-Hornby-R359-0-4-0-PRIMARY-INDUSTRIAL-TANK-LOCO-/370489383878?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item5642e35bc6 both 'buy it now", but reality strikes as a more reasonable seller has one for auction starting at 99p http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIANG-Hornby-R359-0-4-0-PRIMARY-INDUSTRIAL-TANK-LOCO-/191065741322?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item2c7c67d80a Apologies if these have been flagged before.

Il Grifone Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) The black versions are quite rare (whether £400 of 'rare' is debatable), as they were quickly replaced with 'Nellie' and later 'Connie' and 'Polly', under the impression that children prefer bright colours (I preferred my trains in the correct colours as a child!) Lionel produced a pink train set for girls (along with with wheeled rabbits*...), which I gather was not a success. One lady model railroader commented on it scathingly, that she wanted her trains in the right colour - black!) *http://www.kruesel.com/about.html or this one (scroll down past the bargain properties - about a third of the way down) http://www.thomasvillecountryauction.com/top%20pages/previously_sold_items.htm Edited February 9, 2014 by Il Grifone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WD0-6-0 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Not too ridiculous but this definitely isn't Bachmann and £60 is overpriced for what it really is plus it's not pristine. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300970509297?ru Rhys Edited February 9, 2014 by WD0-6-0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsetan Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Under what section of ebay reporting as the listings do not have a statement to describe this listing. First, click "Report Item" On the "File a Report" page, select "Copyright and trademark" from the "Report Category" list. Then, from the "Reason for Report" list, select "Counterfeit item or authenticity disclaimer". Last, from the "Detailed Reason", select "Counterfeit, fake or replica item" Click "Continue", and in the Brief Description box, write something like "Seller is passing off a Hornby model as a Bachmann product." Click "Send Report", sit back and watch eBay do absolutely nothing about it...... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the models are not that good (one dates from the early fifties and is now well past its sell by date) they didn't deserve this fate (Please give them a decent burial). Quote A model that your friends will not have on their layout - a burnt out or vandalised guards van. The first part is right if you substitute 'nobody will have' and the word "vandalised" is certainly correct! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
