RMweb Premium melmerby Posted October 19, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 19, 2016 any catalogue you get has a picture of an item in it, not necessarily the one you'll get though. Mike. Car advertising billboards are the same. You get the headline "Model XXX £12,000 on the road" But the picture is of Model YYY which has a bigger engine, alloy wheels with decent tyres and tinted glass in the windows etc. etc., which costs £20,000 on the road!

Bodmin Bob Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 This 47 has been weathered!!!! But it looks like its fire damaged! Bit OTT in my view. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/381616076115 The art of weathering is knowing exactly when to stop - clearly whoever did this just didn't! We see this kind of thing on these pages time and time again where good models are simply ruined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted October 20, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) + Is 500 any longer a "Limited Edition"? Hornby do this all the time, when 1500 was once the standard batch Noel I remember it when it used to be 3000... and wasnt that long ago. (Indeed there are examples of limited editions of 3000 out there too... Lima's 92001 and Bachmanns 60532 come to mind, and Hornby's Big 4 Royal Doulton Sets (R648/Tonvridge, R650 King Henry VI, R649 A4 Ronald Matthews and R459 Duchess City of St Albans),. The previous hard to find Hornby Exeter (R320) was limited to 4000 pieces in 1995 ! Edited October 21, 2016 by adb968008 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted October 21, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 21, 2016 What is it supposed to be?

My investigation turned up nothing. 4-4-2Ts and 0-6-2Ts were preferred. AFAIK there were no 'Tilbury' tender locomotives at all. The 'model' appears to have the Tri-ang chassis and possibly a K's Midland 'Spinner' body??. Sold for £62.33! It should be 'Emerson Park' (as it appears the model is actually lettered - the pictures are not all that clear).

It should be 'Emerson Park' (as it appears the model is actually lettered - the pictures are not all that clear). Just for the record the LTSR did have tender locos. They acquired two chunky and slightly unusual looking 0-6-0 locos from Sharp Stewart in 1899. They were originally intended for the Ottoman Railway in Turkey, hence their rather odd cab. They also had the magnificent Baltic tanks.The 'model' has a certain whiff of some of the singles that ran on their rival's, the GER, tracks and might have looked better in blue.

Il Grifone Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Apparently the internet site I found wasn't as complete as it seemed and on second thoughts Sarah is right about the LOI chassis This one seems to be made from rather thick metal (?) plates. I'm not too sure about the body either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesysmith Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I cant do link, so ill discribe what ive found. I have just got some Bachmann class 46 (3 of) to repower some of my old peaks. I know the battery boxes are different, but it is a easy and cheap way of getting a better drive train. If you put a serch in for Bachmann class 46, then put it in price order you will find 2 chassis blocks, with motor but no bogies for sale at £39.75 plus £4.95 post. Just before them is a compleate loco for sale at £38.99 plus £4 post. Go figure?
