It should have the standard Rivarossi loop coupling or possibly their bolt-on X2f. The price is the usual OTT, but seeing the 20/6 written on the box....

RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted March 5, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 5, 2019 Keyword spamming. I *HATE* it. I buy car parts from time to time - but only Genuine Saab ones. The number of sellers that call things, for example, Saab Brake pads - genuine. Yet when you look they mean the pads are genuine as opposed to fake - not that they are Genuine Saab. Reported so many (being that keyword spamming is a thing on the report to ebay page) - yet nothing happens. Ugh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAAB not the best example to use as they do not make any of mechanical parts themselves, they are all General motors parts (earlier SAAB's British Leyland - Triumph dolomite) and the turbo Mitsibushi. I used to have this argument with my SAAB dealer. Buy parts shipped to Sweden, put in a Saab box and shipped back to the Uk, or buy the parts that have traveled less distance, direct from Liverpool, in a GM/Vauxhall box, at less than half the price. Now out of warranty, my local garage has a database of SAAB parts numbers against the actual manufacturers part numbers. HUGE savings.

Mike Wiltshire Actually they did make a lot of their own parts - after the 1709 engine developed along with Triumph by Ricardo, they decided they could do better (typical Saab!) and took the engine design in house - the 1850 wasn't great but the 1985cc B engine (as in my car) is bulletproof. All vehicle manufacturers use OEMs for part manufacture. The exception usually being body panels and sometimes large castings such as engine blocks, cylinder heads etc. But by genuine Saab I mean ones made to their specification, and often with SAAB cast into the basic part, and in Saab packaging - as opposed to pattern parts which keep getting labelled on ebay as genuine by irritating sellers. Balljoints are a good example - pattern ones last a couple of thousand miles at best, genuine ones 20k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you suggesting that it ought to sell for no more than 1 pound 2 1/2p? Not at all I was pointing out the original price (£20-25 in today's money) as a possible excuse for his mark up. Rivarossi always was an expensive make, but hasn't really kept its value (at least for U.S freight cars). £5-10 will usually be sufficient to acquire a freight car these days (perhaps a bit more for a box). My main point was that it wasn't 'mint' or anything like it to justify the description and price, A PRR gondola is also one of the common ones and not "hard to find" at all.

Il Grifone Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) It went for £204.99! In fairness to the seller, it is basically a scratch build (the crane part at least) and was listed at £0.99. I suppose if you're a Thomas fan it is a must have, but.... I have a feeling there will be gauge problems too. Has he caught the engine equivalent of mumps? Edited March 12, 2019 by Il Grifone 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
