MrWolf Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 They look okay actually, but as you say a bit steep. I might just be not reading the listing properly but there doesn't seem to be any mention of who made them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One might have though that there's a reason for no bids three times over! Whilst they were brilliant in their day (I've built many of them years ago to a pretty reasonable standard and still have a drawer full of unmade kits!). They aren't in my view worth more than £20 tops. P.S. For another £5 one could buy one of Roxey's superb brass kits which are a joy to build. https://www.roxeymouldings.co.uk/product/378/4c153-7-compt-compo/ What does this seller not get?

But...the lot is three identical composites plus a brake compo. If I’m looking at buying a job lot of carriages at a high price I want a more balanced rake. You'd need to be making up three or four separate trains to need that many compos. He’d stand a better chance of a sale if he listed them individually: also the lot price is too high for the casual buyer who might not “get” the composite issue, Edited August 13, 2020 by RichardT Missing words 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s obviously something about Lincolnshire-based sellers of secondhand model railways that leads to unrealistic prices (Rocket Railways are also based there.)
