RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted March 21, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 21, 2011 This is interesting - 4 thousand dollars (us) for a Triang train set... I see he eventually sold it for $2700 (nearly 17 hundred quid), on his third relist I think. Glad I'm not paying his fees Still, if he picked it up for a couple of hundred from some old widow ......

Il Grifone Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I've been trying to get hold of some of the old Triang, or Crescent diecast single post home signals. I got a triple signal very reasonably last week, but there seems to be a bit of bidding frenzy at the moment and of course some someone spots this and decides his old tat is valuable - 30 squid and £5.00 P&P http://cgi.ebay.co.u...=item4aa8e090f9 The Crescent signal is very rare - it's not suffering from mazak disease. It might have suffered a repaint though, as all these I've seen have Crescent's strange reversed colours on the arm (red stripe on white arm). The rest is tat, even the Dublo buffer stop has the wires bent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted March 23, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hmmm, apart from a small crack in the cowling, I wonder what caused that then? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hornby-CLASS-31-BR-GREEN-/160562046202?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item25623e64fa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenton Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Teddy Bear Kit That a fair price to pay for a kit. :blink: Terry just arrived back on topic - but had to comment The price here does include motor and wheels, it is also actually is quite a rare kit to find these days as Horsetan commented it is old and comes from a relatively good stable. Though compared to the IMO better Constructeon kit it is dated and less accurate and of course compared to buying off-the-shelf RTR (but can you make such a comparison?) Some how I missed this one with my standard search terms or I would have been bidding - but not quite as high as to win it at that price - so no loss.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 25, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 25, 2011 Really exists too! Yes, I've drunk in the pub there - it's the added "Circular" bit that maketh me to giggle! Bottoms are usually rounded - but circular? And I do like the Guy Singles. 50 years ago when I collected bus numbers GSs 29,45 and 82 were attached to our local garage (Dorking) for the 433 route, which passed our school.
