Horsetan Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I think everything he's selling is either rare or unusual. Must be great to have a collectors 'eye' for these things? Well, it's rare to find someone whose entire stock relies on 100% crap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

valeofyork Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I love how some people spend a couple of days doing a paint re-spray without doing the proper research before hand, I spent 2 weeks researching and finding pictures and video's while researching a particular wagon, I even went to Cardiff for a particular train just to see the required wagon and at the end of it realised that each wagon was different. The key to a good and proper model is the research beforehand. A few months ago someone was selling a pair of HST prototype power cars, converted using the Genesis cast cabs. He'd done a really nice job of them - unfortunately the base models were of ones with Brush cooler groups though, so the roof detail was completely wrong!

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted October 12, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 12, 2013 Depending on what was causing the degradation to the loco I don't think I would want it amongst my collection especially if there is anything that could spread causing damage to my other pieces (as in lead rot) It's just been kept in extreme damp. I had some old Dinky toys left over from childhood kept in a platic bag in a damp shed and forgotten. When they were eventually rescued they were beyond salvage as there were large amounts of metal missing, rotted away, just like that loco. keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Interesting box with this one. Restoration!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-WILLS-FINECAST-ER39-Triang-Loco-Tender-Boxed-SPARES-RESTORATION-Vintage-/310761892118?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item485ada2916 Beyond 'Restoration' I would say - more a case for putting down out of her misery! All the railway stuff is described as 'rare' but strangely none of it is. (Apart from the Dublo box for the EMU and possibly the above J39, which is certainly rare to find in this condition, as most things reduced to this state would have long been chucked in the bin long ago.) to be fair to the seller, the start prices are reasonable.

Dump the chassis (though the motor may be savable) and either give liberal amounts of paint stripper or dunk in brake fluid/caustic soda. Nice little kit for a tenner !!

Nice little kit for a tenner !! I don't recognise the tender. Its not one that was coupled to a J39. Sourcing a new tender could make it expensive as it is probably RARE (certainly in that condition). Earlswood nob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

industrial Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Is this a "SMART BUILT BRASS KIT" well not in my case and at £190.00 as well. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400587618449&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:3160 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlswood Nob Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Afternoon all The seller of the smart brass kit has a K's Kirtley loco at £340. It is complete without brake gear on loco or tender, pickups only on two driving wheels, flangeless middle wheels on both loco and tender, and rusty axles supplied at no extra cost. The wheels look like K's original and we all know how good they were. If only my scratchbuilt chassis were as good....I'd throw them all in the bin.

Nice little kit for a tenner !! Possibly though it looks like corrosion has set in on the castings, for which nothing can be done AFAIK*. The tender appears to be rusty, which would mean it isn't original. It looks more like one from a B12, not that I consider myself in any way an LNER expert. I prefer a darker shade of green myself (see below ). *It always seems to reappear whatever you do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
