Wrong tender, chimney missing, coupling rod misaligned Tender drive £84.99. Who is this joker and there are two adverts for this loco!!! What's going on under the cab as it looks like something is missing as well. What tender should it be as it's tender drive? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

33C Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Never mind that, it's a poorly repainted Evening Star, no front buffers, lining showing through, valve gear all over the place. Best you can hope is that it's a library picture...... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted July 8, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 8, 2022 That 9F if you scroll down seems to be a bit of a Triggers Broom as the photos further down clearly are of two different locos (same number, same dodgy valve gear but different tenders) so I have no idea what the heck is going on there.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I know that we're not supposed to be critical of others efforts in case we offend the polar ice caps or something, but that is somewhat overpriced so I think I'm alright in saying that I suspect that if you looked at that creation for too long you're likely to go blind..... 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With you on that. Tenner is over the top pricing. Also it looks like damaged rather than necessarily poor craftsmanship? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brings to mind the curious case of the hippies and the Pentagon: "Not to be dissuaded, Abbie Hoffman vowed to levitate the Pentagon claiming he would attempt to use psychic energy to levitate the Pentagon until it would turn orange and begin to vibrate, at which time the war in Vietnam would end.

6990WitherslackHall Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Remember when Hornby released models of all six preserved A4s to mark Mallard's 75th anniversary? They were all part of a collection called the Great Goodbye, with the real event taking place at Locomotion in Shildon. I reckon they would have been sold at around the region of £200. Well, I found someone selling this and he had all six of them. Guess how much he was selling them for... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
