It has to be said the later tooling split head code nose ends on the old Hornby/Triang Class 37 were actually quite good for their time, pity the rest of it was so poor.

What can I say:

- at least the seller id is appropriate...

What's really nuts is that peope are actually buying these at over £500. I remember a few years back when Model Railways Direct were selling them off at £57 each on sale with more than 50 in stock!

Sorry, leopardml2341, link not working. Even tried just the item number.

Works for me.

 

Mike.

Really weird.

 

All I did (as usual) was copy the link to clipboard and paste it into message.

 

The link doesn't work for me either now.

 

There are some others further back that had this problem as well.

 

Have sent a pm to Andy Y with link to this post.

I was sure this was a misprint until I checked and saw this:

Not sure why the link didn't auto-format and it wouldn't work for me on the mobile last night but it works on the PC when copy/pasted.

I did wonder if the type of device used was an influence.

 

So here's a link from an Android device, not sure if it's madness, but it does seem a touch pricey?

At first look the link seems to have autoformatted.........

Seller wants cash only. There goes all your E bay and PayPal protection.  I am not saying this  seller would do it but paying cash could lead to E bay thinking item was unsold, thus avoiding E Bay's final selling fee.

 

Probably academic as I don't anticipate a sale at that price.

 Cash on pick up only ,as Paypal will charge too much .Thanks for looking ,see my other Items
