Il Grifone Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) He probably paid more for one than the other and is trying to recoup his costs. PART OF A SMALL RECENTLY DISCOVERED COLLLECTION OF AS NEW AIRFIX AND MAINLINE ROLLING STOCK AND LOCO'S Looks like he bought a job lot somewhere (probably cheap?) The photo appears to be the same for both coaches!! Edited August 22, 2013 by Il Grifone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) AFAIK Kings only ran with Collett tenders* in normal service, nothing else. (Cue lots of pics from GW experts with 'prototype for everything' references) *(Am excluding locomtive exchanges and oil burning trials here) AFAIK the couplings are different between BR and Collett tenders - The locomotive footplate.overhangs the former type. Kings are also driven from the proper right hand side. Edited August 22, 2013 by Il Grifone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefrk Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 He probably paid more for one than the other and is trying to recoup his costs. Yeah, 3 quid for one and £3.50 for the other..... I think he's living in cloud cuckoo land with his prices. Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why, because there is a suburb called Hornsby, so naturally they make the mistake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaddeus Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Sometimes words fail me http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400495529593 YOU ARE BUYING A RARE & HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER BOXED Hornby RAILWAYS MODEL No.R.357 BR TYPE2 CLASS AIA-AIA No.D5572 DIESEL LOCO FINISHED IN RARE VERSION BR "ELECTRIC BLUE " LIVERY, IN ORIGINAL EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ADDITIONAL FITTED LED RUNNING LIGHTS. Just because its blue doesn't make it "Electric Blue" or "Highly sort after" or "Rare" also badly fitting HUGE leds does not enhance somethings value nor should you call it original or excellent condition This one seems to have the same problem but a little more grip on reality, to paraphrase Oliver Hardy "a little research goes a loooong way" http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221271581579 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sierd Jan Is being a 10 foot wheelbase P.O. wagon what's "RARE" about it? Pity I might have been interested. Montpelier is a couple of stops away from my boyhood local station (Clifton Down).

Rail-Online Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Is being a 10 foot wheelbase P.O. wagon what's "RARE" about it? It's also on a steel underframe which although not unknown is certainly not typical of any P.O.s. Basically the chassis is completely wrong and I am pretty sure the body was also stretched to fit the chassis! Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
