I think he missed Lima and Tri-ang This seller is well known for opportunistic re-sales of new releases. IIRC, he is moderated on here............... (His current items for sale seem to solely consist of Revolution NNA/JNA box wagons) I think its to do with Ebay searches, you put in revolution- it comes up. You put in Hattons- it comes up, you put in Bachmann - it comes up, albeit much further down in the listings Edited October 25, 2019 by Mattc6911 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. I see that on your Wanted thread Chris P Bacon has given you a screenshot of the latest price list (I see that prices have gone up recently; that's a newer advert than the one I had - have updated my own notes now ) , but still a lot less than that eBay sale... I think that they tend to go for silly prices on eBay simply because George doesn't have an on line sale facility, and eBay is convenient...

markneilp14 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 For anyone who knows of the Sangcheng and GRS prairies this is overpriced and also a known bad model. The collaboration many years ago was for the prairie and the the b set coaches. Unfortunately the crap Chinese soldering and the poor quality brass used in the making of these makes them a buggar. I have repaired a fair few of these over the years for friends within the Gauge 3 Society as they have a habit of falling apart rather like a clown car coming into the circus arena. I do not own one of these as i dont like the way they are put together. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-5-GAUGE-GRS-262-PRAIRIE-ELECTRIC-LOCO/133207112750?hash=item1f03c33c2e:g:ms4AAOSw-v5dqbZ4 Buyer beware Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably cheaper for quite a lot of people to get the train to Scunthorpe and collect in person than pay the postage. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium JDW Posted October 29, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 29, 2019 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LIMA-RE-PAINTED-BR-SERCO-RAILTEST-CLASS-101-DMU-LOCOMOTIVE-2-CAR-SET-nt/333284533787?hash=item4d994e661b:g:KAAAAOSw8j1dQuMG For once not madness, it actually does look reasonably well done (sorry, "professionally refinished"), and there's an SPT one too. OK, the price is a bit on the high side, but not stupidly as with some others. I have to admit, at around £150 I'd have been tempted, but £225 is too much for a second-hand LIma DMU, no matter how much it cost to convert.
