hornbyandbf3fan Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 If you're looking for 600 sovs or more isn't it worth a bit of spell checking? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Horby-Train-Set-Job-lot-/161085096611?hash=item25816b82a3 Why are so many people incapable of spelling Hornby, it's not that difficult surely! *rant over* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted August 12, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 12, 2013 I know it isn't railways - but it is modelling, of a sort. This shows how the collectors' market thinks. I bought one of these in October 1965 for £4.9s.6d, say £4.48 in today's currency. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161080333164?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2648 At the time it was the mutt's nuts in 1/32nd slot cars - magnesium alloy wheels and chassis. You could get a reasonable slot car, e.g. Revell, for £1.50. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffnut Thorston Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 And a new way of saying 'Rare' !? (I know it does say so on the box,but......) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AIRFIX-KIT-00-LIMITED-PRODUCTION-MINERAL-WAGON-SCALE-00-VINTAGE-MODEL-NEW-/300946833906?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item4611d441f2 Just how limited was the production of this item, even just considering the run in this box? several thousand? It's also by another David Bailey competitor. The box illustration possibly explains several of these wagons I've bought with the transfers in the wrong places! Hornby Dublo and Tri-ang Railways also got the numbers and tare weights transposed on some early models... Or, as I've had happen in the past, sent to the wrong address and then relisted on eBay (I've no absolute proof, but it certainly seemed to be the same item!). And another rare item (possibly rare unmade, but not otherwise - there's one in front of me as I type!). http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rex-Wagon-Kit-RARE-/370874968785?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item5659deead1 To be pendantic for collectors, these came with 3 link couplings (Queen Mary anchor chain type) and wheels supplied and the buffers needed to be fitted to the headstocks. Neither the buffers nor the couplings would fit without enlarging the holes. They're usually a quid or two and can come with quite nice spoked wheels, though they're usually a rubbish bakelite type. EDIT Here's a tank wagon of the same make from one of our 'weathering' experts.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kit-Built-Abandoned-Oil-Fuel-tank-wagon-WEATHERED-LOOK-suit-Bachmann-Dapol-/400549234107?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item5d429845bb They also have this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kit-Built-4-Plank-GWR-10t-Open-Coal-wagon-optional-load-PRO-WEATHERED-LOOK-/360716606963?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item53fc629df3 There's also a mineral wagon from the same seller (spot the deliberate error!) Now, leaving aside the discussion as to whether it should actually be red, why are the plates fitted the wrong way round and there appears to be an excess of brake levers? Thanks...now I have some idea of th emake of some bits in our collection... I think there may be a minor mis-match here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/00-GAUGE-ENGINE-SELLING-AS-SPAIRS-UN-ABLE-TO-TEST-/290959074623?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item43be83253f Tri-ang SR L1 with Tri-ang GWR Hall Tender...

Il Grifone Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hornby Dublo and Tri-ang Railways also got the numbers and tare weights transposed on some early models... True, but that was in the early fifties*. The Airfix boo-boo was lin the sixties. (The first HD mineral wagon I acquired (just after it came out) has the number/load and tare transposed. * I'm not sure that there aren't BR examples. They certainly changed their mind as to which end of a coach should bear the number - the dublo LMR composite has the number on the LH end whereas the matching Bk/3rd has it on the right. I have most of the ERG wagons - I'll post photos in 'Collectable/Vintage'. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they scrap her because the chassis didn't fit? Brown all over is not "weathering", but I think we've said that before. Are the "steal rails" for pinching it? (Not that anyone would want to!)

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted August 14, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 14, 2013 And another kind of madness (though I won't embarrass him with specfic name and models)...... My wife recently sold of a load of Triang TT stuff of hers to pay towards a new embroidery machine. One chap bought a load in some earlier auctions and bought another load (7 items) from our final listings. He hasn't left feedback yet though I know the goods were signed for and he does leave feedback. I was just looking at his profile and saw he last left feedback late July for a purchase......... from Cartmel!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
