RMweb Gold Steven Draper Posted August 19, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 19, 2018 I was watching an online live auction when I left the room briefly - leaving my cat alone with the laptop - and foolishly the mouse pointer over the BID zone.....Later I noticed that there was something in my winning cart, a kit built Prairie Tank covered in about an inch of blobby paint - fortunately only £25.00 ishThe model arrived and after a soak in paint stripper a rather nicely built Martin Finny model was revealed in pretty good condition - it even ran OK too !!!Sold on ebay later for £100 8^) Happy Days, well done Cat !!!!

RedGemAlchemist Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Set of premade scenery segments. Was expecting to be bidded out by the £35 limit I'd set for myself... It ended at £32 with me as the top bid! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted September 17, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 17, 2018 What’s going to power it? A Portescap of course! Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 A Portescap of course!. Coreless motor bogie might be possible. UPDATE: kit has arrived. Very neat set of mouldings. Instructions look a bit prosaic, but do have clear diagrams. Pity this kit will probably never be produced again but then again Bachmann have muscled in on that territory somewhat.
