That's an engineer's / machinist's toolbox, I could probably get £75 for that when renovated. Some of the locos would make interesting projects, but at £750, I think somebody has been drinking out of the toilet again - hint, it wasn't the dog! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might even gain an xo4 too, have no worries about dumping the body shell in the recycling bin. If you don't win it drop me a PM and I might be able to help. I'm sure I have at least one maybe two that have been carefully stored ( chucked in the bottom of) a box of old tat. They MIGHT even have been runners when they were ' carefully' packed away 🤗 and they have no historical value or childhood memories attached for me 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted July 1, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1, 2022 £50 for a damaged diecast bus!!! OK I know the “Northern Scottish” Alexander coach is a rare beast but this one looks like it’s been attacked with a hacksaw and pliers.

Cheers Darius With the amount of damage around the drivers area (window pillar missing and glass all gone) you'd expect the steering wheel and seat to show more evidence of the impact. The driver wouldn't have come off lightly either.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks more like it's had a rough time in junior's toybox than "accident damaged" . Junk. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The item specifics say that it’s a Pola kit, including: “Basic Scenery, Depot, Gantry Crane, Industrial Building, Signal” A better picture would have helped. 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree - yours is a fair comment. I suspect that he is a genuine seller who, in this case, has not done a particularly good job. I see that he listed this at 7.41pm last night - probably got distracted by dinner and rushed the listing - I know that I've done similar.

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted July 4, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 4, 2022 Apparently, a small section of tiled roof (European kit, something like Faller perhaps?) and the base of a large brick built chimney stack or tower, possibly indicating an industrial building or part of one. Beyond that, I've no idea what you are looking at here, Paul, or why you should pay £10 for it! 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
