Ah well.Will have to look at alternatives for closer coupling.

Thanks anyway.

Are 3 link couplings in n gauge or 2mm scale available anywhere?

The perennial high pricer has moved into Kirk coaches.

He has listed a ten coach collection. Seven random coaches and a triplet restaurant for £795. There are two sleeping cars, a buffet car and a full brake. If one forms a rake from the collection then I suppose that passenger would be served meals at their bunks, and who ever heard of a restaurant set and a buffet car in the same rake. He advertises that handrails etc have been added, but doesn't say that only applies to some coaches.

He also has a 4-quad artic set for £197.50, with a dodgy bogie. I hate to think what he'd charge for a  set with a good bogie, correct couplings, separate handrails, and decent underframes. Perhaps it would be £795.

There really are so many gullible buyers out there that I cease to amaze at the prices they are prepared to pay for some items. Whlist I agree that high pricers are very irritating, at least they are up front and discourage the majority of right thinking potential buyers. It is the items which begin at reasonable prices and then are bid up to ridiculous amounts - often by novice users of eBay - that encourage the unwary. Don't people try looking for second hand items at exhibitions or model shops anymore? Do people no longer work to a budget?

I find that genuine bargains on eBay, particularly in n gauge, are increasingly difficult to secure.

If people are tempted to bid 'caveat emptor' is worth keeping at the forefront of one's mind.
