Il Grifone Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Item 71 on this list would seem to suggest it's based on something genuine. Though admittedly a lot of 'Southern railway' signs were eg London and South Western Railway with various words painted out. http://www.ukrailwayana.com/20180005/catalog.htm I was wondering why items 35 & 36 are blue when both stations are Western Region (up the line from where I used to live in Teignmouth).

Il Grifone Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 A lower price than some hopefuls we've seen on here but it's pretty basic for the price. As he can't spell purchase I don't think I'll be buying. Have these people never heard of spill chuckers? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/model-railway-layout/232821981457?hash=item3635458111:g:5iIAAOSwHZhbL9Hh At least he/she's done the yard the right colour, though the usual surfeit of grass is apparent. it was kept well back from the track.... Not a bad start, but a bit optimistic pricewise IMHO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 47137 Posted September 4, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 4, 2018 The trouble is it's all stuff that, "Might come in useful one day...." I agree entirely but I am slowly coming round to realise, it hardly ever is useful at least to me. A couple of years ago I had to get rid of my garden shed to make space for an outbuilding. The stuff in the shed went on Freecycle, and to the dump, and a few things like the hand fork and trowel and the weedkiller went into one of those plastic "outdoor cupboards". The bottom line was "I'll buy a new one if I want it again". I am now trying to do the same with the model trains. The best thing In did for years was get a DCC controller and convert one engine. It was like beginning the hobby all over again. I've done about 14 engines now but 14 is a lot better than 50 and it is helping me to be fairly drastic with what I let go. I've sold on 20 RTR engines on eBay, and I don't miss them. I still can't believe the bids on this box of rubbish though, and indeed many of the listings on this thread. - Richard. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
