industrial Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Now here's a rarity from one of our favourite sons - Code 4 maybe? An item that's listed as spares or repair! I know spares or repair listings are common enough but is this a first from this source? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JOUEF-No-XXX-Bo-Bo-No-11166-SBB-FFS-ELECTRIC-LOCO-SPARES-OR-REPAIR-/400601420504?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item5d45b492d8 Why is it not listed as a not completed kit built engine as so many RTR they market are called "Kit Built" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffnut Thorston Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Possibly but the photos are too poor to be really certain. If Ratio, the price is even more OTT! I'd have to dig one out of its box to compare, but the lack of coal detail on the side of the moulding suggests Trackmaster, as does the rectangular cut-out underneath. A severe warp is the usual clincher, but these seem reasonably straight. I am also of the opinion that these are Trackmaster (Pyramid Toys), bought by Tri-ang to expand the Tri-ang Railways system. The R.10 Goods Truck with one of these became the R.13 Coal Truck. Later re-tooled by Tri-ang...and then in 1960, replaced by another moulding.

I think I may have the answer for this and other weird photos....rabbits come to mind! You have to have one photo in a listing to get it uploaded now...so you need a placeholder!

C&WR Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I suspect he is using "Hornby" as a generic term for "model railway" just like some people use "Scalextric" for "slot cars". Certainly one of The Small Controller's school chums, when shown our railway, said, "cool, a Hornbee". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to have one photo in a listing to get it uploaded now...so you need a placeholder! LOL I did see the description of the listing,.... I understand what you're saying about a `placeholder'....but, irrespective of this, It just surprised me anyone would want to even consider placing a listing knowing full well they couldn't provide at least one basic photo due to the circumstance's outlined. I can understand placing the listing if you were intending to add more photo's later, or at the request of a potential bidder/buyer. I won't even contemplate listing anything knowing I can't supply at least one good photo first. It just seems to be counter productive anyway, as I can't imagine many folk, myself included, would even bother checking out a listing without a photo as an idea to what is for sale. Sorry,probably just me thinking logical then??....but, it's just my personal opinion anyway, others may think differently on this maybe???,.....thought it was funny with that image on the listing though.

The fees should be factored into the selling price to start with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting item, but isn't this statement against ebay rules? We appreciate the asking price for this item is considerable and as such any parties interested in acquiring this piece are asked to contact us to negotiate a sale. However, it has been on ebay for over two years...... Cheers, Mick Edited December 7, 2013 by newbryford Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted December 7, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 7, 2013 At least he didn't claim Bachmann parentage. Not surprising he's failed to sell twice now with £9.50 economy postage. Mind you, he is giving one copy of the magazine with these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/oo-gauge-coaches-x-4-/281217948699?autorefresh=true&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&nma=true&si=2HCQfTM02oHFGvgJJR6tb38059s%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
