valeofyork Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I have one FGW PC and Big Bob Oversett has the other of the pair. Likewise, we each have one Grand Central buffered version.................. We both wanted to do an NMT with one buffer and one non-buffer PC. Maybe me and Bob need to have a joint ebay account..........? Cheers, Mick Flog em! You can then buy an XC set for considerably less and make a profit! Also, the FGW one doesn't actually have the correct roof detail for the NMT at any time. The XC model is correct for 43062 as it is at the moment. (Grand Central ones aren't correct either for the NMT as it is at present, mind). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlswood nob Not strictly 'mint' I would agree, but things do suffer slight damage in their boxes (Dublo 4MT tanks almost all have a vertical mark across their number due to this). As to the track etc., this is fairly easy to replace to complete the set (if you're interested of course). To be fair to our friend, he does list the defects in his wares (it's just the strange/exorbitant prices!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffnut Thorston Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Perhaps the grey roof makes it rare. I like the CR loco too. I saw the real thing when she visited Bristol Temple Meads in the late 50s. The model was, I felt, spoilt by the oversize driving wheels and splashers (more cheapskating).. Perhaps I should get one to go with my CR coaches. Tri-ang just made a caley style body to fit the Lord of the Isles chassis...that would explain some errors.... If you go for one, avoid the later issues with a deformed chimney! I wonder how many coaches there are with white V grey roofs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice C 1959 - 1961 issue. Triang R250 Transcontinental TC-Series Double Ended Diesel NON-POWERED DUMMY MIB Excuse me, but I don't think this set had "Series 2" track. If it had been called that, that would be "Standard" Track. I think that "Series 3" would be the one! C1959 -1961 Set! Hardly run? No wonder with no track! Glowing with Factory Freshness! Does our seller work in advertising? (I do wonder why the track is missing...rusty? Why not put some nice track in? Too much hassle?) This set has hardly been run and is in mint condition. The loco has a couple of light marks from box rub, but all decals are perfect. The coaches are all original for this set with grey ribbed rooves, with the odd coach having a light mark. All series 2 track and the power clip is missing. Comes with a 1961 Seventh edition catalogue, and servicing leaflet. The inner box is excellent and comes with the inner card protector piece. Lid is perfect with no repairs to the corners and just glows with a factory fresh look. It is also supplied in the original factory mailer card box.

Kenton Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 can one have a rake of two wagons?Well what would you call them - a nice pair perhaps? aka Definition: Railway term rake a group of wagons or coaches coupled together as one unit. As there are more than one that constitutes a group. So it all comes down to are they coupled? Even if not, then I have seen the term used frequently for boxed multiples, so this guy is not alone for picking on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't put my finger on it but something doesn't feel right here... Sounds like someone being realistic - two x tender engine at c.£30-35 each and two x pokey little engines at c.£10-15 each. That's about what they would fetch in auction so nothing way off beam as far as the BIN price is concerned - although other things might not be quite so marvellous of course.
