84A Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Yes, bent and I believe part missing on the right side - there should be an arm extending vertically upwards to the notch in the frames. It almost looks like it has been dropped for the cab to have ended up in that state. Such a shame, as I imagine it was a nice model at one point.

RMweb Gold RFS Posted December 11, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 11, 2013 I have one and it's a very nice model indeed. I bought mine new last year from an authorised Hornby retailer and it didn't cost as much as Rails want for this broken one! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gary H Posted December 11, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Very expensive for a defective model, considering there are others on Ebay far cheaper. I just offered them £35 but it was auto refused, thank god! Just to show they're not the only ones who can extract the urine! OK, that was their last chance, £35. 10p Edited December 11, 2013 by Gary H Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I think we should offer progressively lower, rather than higher amounts. Think we should start at....ooh...£15 and work downwards from there.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted December 11, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 11, 2013 The limited run of these sold out very quickly, to the chagrin of more than one RMwebber, so I expected this to shift quickly, but no bids and it's finished soon. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221328903635?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 They are nice, I can confirm. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffnut Thorston Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 The certificate has probably been "nicked" to cover another (repainted?) model. Possibly another model that "They" had in stock missing the certificate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything of Lima worth £39-95p? If there is I have never come across it. Fartmel again! Oh and listed in Finescale. Ha Ha Ha ha ha etc etc Just noticed he has listed two of them.

C&WR Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Dunno, andytrains. Since getting back into the hobby I've picked up quite a few Lima bits & pieces for around the £40 mark. Mind you these have all been locomotives (and one DMU) and included postage. I like them all very much & have had a lot of entertainment detailing them. These old motors also seem to go on, and on, and on and pull good length trains while they're at it. However I wouldn't pay £40 for a wagon by pretty much any manufacturer, even if brand new or if it was something I really wanted! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-ugger! I have two old Batmobiles, but both were very much loved and played with so there is 1.5 Batmen, a headless Robin, the missiles are in urgent need of a replen, and they are "weathered" to a standard that our friends on eBay would describe as "professional" but we would think of as "a bl-oody mess". Guess I will just let The Small Controller continue enjoying them as much as I did... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grovenor Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Well another case of how to get your buyers confused as it is listed near the top as "Un-boxed Model" and then lower down "The original box & inner packing is in excellent condition" Note that he does not actually say that the box is included in the sale, perhaps a separate lot!
