FPH 603 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 After seeing the NSE 166(-1 Carriage) ebay pointed me towards this..... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F382375036451 I have a new “favourite” model The old SWT trains are looking worse for wear OliverSR Reminds me of how these railway companies find excuses to keep Pacers in service when pretty clearly they have well reached their sell by date.

RMweb Premium Finsbury Posted February 13, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 13, 2018 For some strange reason this one hasn't sold yet. It can be yours for a mere £20.00. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AIRFIX-MODEL-No-R201-B-R-RAILBUS-CONSTRUCTION-KIT-BUILT/401457948951?epid=1407994125&hash=item5d78c22917:m:mBeqEvbcHbtGxcF96DKgwvg That looks fresh out of Park Royal compared to the abortion sitting on my workbench, lemme at it!

Worth every non-working penny. Every non-working, melted running plate, repainted smokebox penny. A new one is £109.99, so, £10 more. If I wanted THAT one - where would I find a spare motor. Spent 10 minutes googling, on DJM website, Kernow website, Peter's Spares etc and nowhere can I find the part number or replacement part available. Raises an interesting point re. DJM. I like DJM and what he's doing, but what's the parts availability going to be like? Has he selected/engaged someone to carry parts? Does he order parts from the factory?

Grovenor Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 The listing also says "Good Condition" ! And right after the Good boxed condition it says THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PARTS OF THE RUNNING PLATE THAT HAVE BEEN MELTED NONE RUNNER - MOTOR IS DEAD Which rather contradicts the good. regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiney Sheff Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 And right after the Good boxed condition it says Which rather contradicts the good. regards Rails seem to be trying to force the price of second hand stuff through the roof, who in their right mind would pay that price for such a pile of junk. The shop seems to have gone down hill in the last couple of years, while they are great at discounting new stuff, they seem to think that charging extortionate prices for second hand not so good stuff is ok.

Has he selected/engaged someone to carry parts? Does he order parts from the factory?At Stafford exhibition earlier this month DJM had a stand upon which were some 50% price reduced boxed models labelled NQP (explained on a nearby sheet as Not Quite Perfect) which had on the face of it minor defects. Assuming these were customer returns, if spares were available, wouldn't it make sense to repair the minor defects and cut the loss? Or at least have the spares needed to fix the defects on sale as well? I didn't ask specifically if parts were available as none of the models were relevant to my interests.

TheGunslinger Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 For the work that has gone into them and the basic price of the coach, not too bad IMHO. Mike. Several of the windows have gaping holes where the builder hasn't bothered to fill the gap between a round window and a square hole. There's visible seams where the windows used to be, which means either poor conversion work or very, very thin paint. The modified ends have sloppy filling and the corners are a mess. Normally this would all be acceptable but for five hundred quid I expect a damn sight better. This guy is vastly over-valuing his abilities. Or he's a shyster, because it's Ebay after all.

Normally this would all be acceptable but for five hundred quid I expect a damn sight better. This guy is vastly over-valuing his abilities. Or he's a shyster, because it's Ebay after all. Many years ago when the Hornby new HST came out he sold a full respray of the power cars in the merlin great western livery. I snapped them up with the mk3’s to match. When it arrived the workmanship was not what was expected from the price and the description. The Ivory was a completely different shade to the trailers, reason given? The varnish caused it. Needless to say I was not happy so raised the issue further with no help from eBay at all. I ended up having to keep, I was very new to eBay at the time too. I weathered and that dramatically improved the look. I sold 3 years later, thankfully I ended up not loosing a penny on what I paid. He done some fag packet ones not too long back and the quality again was poor, the eBay photos had many issues showing around the cab etc and the transfers had Split’s etc. I have to agree, he massively over estimates his abilities, especially when it’s complicated models/liveries.
