Minus P+P but this wont be £90. Actually this loco has been for sale for a while and quite honestly, as its what I model, is something I would like.. but not at that price. OK its probably rare in the UK which may have influenced pricing but conversely the UK market is equally small, so perhaps a more realistic price may resulted in a sale well before now? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK its probably rare in the UK which may have influenced pricing but conversely the UK market is equally small, so perhaps a more realistic price may resulted in a sale well before now? This it is a ridiculous price. Although Austrains have totally sold out there stock of C36 Class in Australia, does it mean one should capitalize on the product ? Considering at the moment on ebay Australia, there are a few C36 Class (round top fire box) locos for sale. OK, the sales are in the early stages at the moment, but they will probably go for the $300.00 - $350.00 (£178.00) mark at the end of sale, which is still $200.00 (£102.00) cheaper than the RoS price... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed they are somewhat rare and collectable. Unfortunately I naively loaned it and all my other models to the then Leytonstone Model Railway Club, while I went to college. And of course when I came back, it had all gone. Edited February 7, 2015 by Andy Reichert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Apparently the 'worth' varies with the shade of blue, but never to the ridiculous levels of 'our friend'. Sometimes he makes a mistake and prices something reasonably, but this is so rare as to be 'eBay Madness' in itself....
