    Thanks Fran. Had a bit of a mad moment here, I was so busy looking for subtle differences that I completely overlooked the most obvious change with the headcode boxes! I can't find when they were plated over - some time between July 77 and May 80 from photos I have access to at the moment.

     

    I think 37001 kept its skirts until rebuilding at 37707?

     

    Anyhow, one will be ordered after my second Deltic is paid for next month :good_mini:

    Hi Roy, 37001 still had black headcode panels in 1986. I have a photo of it at York on 05 July 86.

    It's worth disputing. After all you might be able to reduce the refund to compensate for the damage and the worst case scenario is E bay refunding the lot to the buyer; and you have the loco back.

    Thanks Colin, my concern here is that if they find in his favour (there is absolutely no reason why they should; I have video evidence and photos) then I end up with some detrimental mark against my seller profile. Reluctantly, I think I will chalk it up to experience. Although if he doesn't respond to my message then I might just escalate.

    Also a new seller to ebay and have sold 13 items but have just had my first wake up call and am looking for some advice.

     

    Sold a Bachmann loco with DCC Sound; it worked perfectly as I tested it fully before I sent it. The Buyer contacted me this week to say that it doesn't work and that he was very disappointed. I apologized profusely and asked him to return the loco for a full refund, which he did.

     

    Got the loco back yesterday and guess what; it works perfectly. Sound and running are all fine and as I described. Now i get it back in a ripped box with some of the cab glazing now knocked out. I am thinking of disputing his reasons for return but just reckon I'll get shafted anyway so reckon I should just refund him and then block him. Is it actually worth the hassle of disputing this?

     

    Many thanks, Chris

    SO according to Facebook there's an announcement being made this weekend at York!

    This only leaves us 3 days to get over excited, make futile, pointless and over emotional, often heated arguments about why it must be a (insert name of lost cause here) locomotive, only to find out that it isn't any of the things any of us said it MUST be, and slink off to our corners demoralised and broken.  Cue the usual suspects to say with glee, "I won't be buying any of that!"

    This is actually one manufacturer's announcement that I am genuinely excited about. Anything blue with TOPS numbers will be fine by me :)

    24035 and 24091 are both same spec as 063 in terms of nose doors sand boxes and underframe tanks, though the position of warning flashes on nose ends varies over time, between locos and even from one end of a loco to the other. Both 035 and 091 had them inboard of the tail lights on at least one end also builders plate is in different place compared with 063. Otherwise they're the best candidates. Also check the bodyside footsteps, some locos had them all plated over, others including 035 had the lowest one open and just the top 2 plated over. It may be that this was just on one side, to be honest im not sure. The model has them all plated over on both sides so is incorrect. I've seen at least one picture of 24081 with one step unplated, so possibly the model is incorrect.

    023, 036, 047, 057, 073, 082, 087 are all definately out because they have the water tank still fitted to the underframe

    Thanks IKB, that is most useful and very comprehensive. Much obliged for your help.

    According to DerbySulzers, the following non headcode box examples were still active in 1977:

     

    24023

    24035

    24036

    24047

    24057

    24073

    24082

    24087

    24091

     

    Forgive me if this has been asked earlier in this thread but would any of these be a direct renumber from 24063 as the model is depicted? I would consider getting another example of 63 to complement the version I have if a simple renumber is possible.

     

    Grateful for any advice. Many thanks.
