Il Grifone Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Not as sky high as some layouts we've seen, but somehow quite a bit seems missing unless you have a good imagination. Nice to see it's prefect size - presumably for the bigger boys in authority. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/model-railway-layout/232821981457?hash=item3635458111:g:5iIAAOSwHZhbL9Hh:rk:35:pf:0 OK, but.... 6' x 4' is a bit large for transport though.

My daughter gave me one (boxed) for Christmas a few years back, but I know she didn't pay anything near what F Cartmel is asking for it. There's another one here at a more reasonable price (still too much IMHO!). (Others are available; this is the first one to come up.) Mine has three Minix Triumph 2000s on it. Really they need at least repainting (white plastic bumpers!) or, probably better, binning. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-R126-Car-Transporter-with-3-Car-Load-/282732327787 Edited December 24, 2018 by Il Grifone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damo666 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) Sorry for the OT, but I couldn't find an 'Amazon Madness' Spotted this Bachmann Henry The Green Engine for £1,343.12 (love the 12 pence, nice detail) How can there be only 2 customer reviews yet when you look at the reviews I saw 6 as 'Verified Purchase'?
