Wolseley Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Not so much a post about madness, more a question to satisfy my curiosity. Does anyone know what on earth this person is selling? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Hornby-DUBLO-7-X-SOME-TYPE-OF-LIGHTING-OR-MAYBE-A-PLATFORM-FOR-SOMETHING/222795604756?hash=item33dfa72314:g:25EAAOSwQdRaWztN Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatB Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Some sort of idea of size would be useful. "Some type of lighting or something" suggests maybe lamp-post heads but the circular bit of the design makes it unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium JDW Posted January 14, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 14, 2018 My first guess would be one of these: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LZ3AJfQaUxw/U0xXL0BM2DI/AAAAAAAAGXk/yXsEzX9kSHQ/s1600/IMG_2363+r.jpg The frame for holding the trolley pole on the Blackpool "boat" cars, but nothing to do with Hornby-Dublo!

Ah yes. Now that you mention it I think you're right. However an idea of scale/size still might be useful to potential buyers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffnut Thorston Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Just to be nosey I had a look what actually SOLD from him....... Do Hornby 9F's suffer from Mazak cracking or is this just cosmetic surface cracking? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-SUPER-DETAIL-BR-STANDARD-9F-LOCO-DRIVE-CHASSIS-ONLY-/132437117188?nma=true&si=XOo5kFwz%252Fnszr%252BErl%252B28xZ2GMCY%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Page down to actually see the item....... Tony Well I have had a China made Tender Drive Hornby 9f that had mazak rot off the chassis block... It was replaced by a Margate made chassi sblock, modified to take the better valve gear, etc.... (Hornby were most un-helpful when it was reported....nothing doing! ) The listed one certainly looks like it has the lurgy to me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Grifone Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hmm, they have a ScotRail 150/2 too at £400. The seller is of note though, a few years back they had dozens of cheap locos, based in Croydon they have option to collect and save postage.. so I bought and won, went to collect,. turns out it’s Cash Converters next to West Croydon station. They price their items by looking on eBay.... They used to be a good source of cheap electronics - Hi-Fi, computers etc. - but don't seem as good of late. Our local one has had a valve amplifier for ages. It started around £120 and was reduced to £100 months ago. Still there last time I looked! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
