RMweb Premium kevinlms Posted December 30, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 30, 2013 Some fine description here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-R2984-CLASS-43-HST-NETWORK-RAIL-NEW-MEASUREMENT-TRAIN-PACK-FOR-REPAIR-/141152440966?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item20dd575286 "Externally they are both in very good condition and apart from the missing buffers, light units and power car roof fans - they are ready to run." "THIS IS A VERY RARE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE THIS HST SET UNBOXED AND WITH COSMETIC DAMAGE." Very good condition apart from having a number of very obvious bits missing! And remember, it's a 'rare opportunity' to get them in a trashed state like this! And from the same seller: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-BR-CLASS-43-SUPER-DETAILED-HST-BODY-43300-EAST-COAST-LIVERY-SPARES-REPAIR-/370974217650?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item565fc955b2 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-BR-CLASS-43-SUPER-DETAILED-HST-BODY-43055-EAST-MIDLANDS-SPARES-REPAIR-/141152438264?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item20dd5747f8 Both of which are in 'Excellent Condition' - well, apart from the fact that both of them have a large and very obvious dent in the exhaust deflector! I wonder what 'poor condition' would look like? At a starting price of 99p, does it matter? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who want one best go for the first. Keith One would've thought that if people want to sell their goods efficiently, they would at least take some care when listing and double check before uploading. Careless or lazy or both? In the past I've put up in excess of twenty items at one 'sitting' and have checked and double checked, with accurate descriptions, before listing resulting in trouble free successes.

Have to say I think the reviews of the Lima 67 were a bit harsh - the main issue was that they had over-hyped it and it didn't live up to the lofty claims! However, it's actually not a bad model overall, and better than some which Hornby still haven't retooled (notably the 87 and 90). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having similar moral battles over the price needed for a 5 BEL in Umber and Cream. Similar temptations with Hornby Gresley Suburbans in Maroon (or Crimson lake, whatever you want to call it), however at nearly £50 a pop, it makes a suburban rake expensive. Don't worry Ian there are much worse things you could have done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it's actually not a bad model overall, and better than some which Hornby still haven't retooled (notably the 87 and 90). Maybe, but given that printed on detail is more appropriate to 1950s Hornby Dublo than a supposedly landmark model 50-odd years later and that the mechanism and interior workings, as described by Mr Burkin, would have shamed Triang I'm not so sure.

I was immediately attracted until I saw the prices! I've always loved the coaling stage at Didcot as it's been part of the scenery of my life, and while I didn't have space for one had a quick look. Ye Gods, that's expensive! I'm just glad I was sitting down when I saw how much the Weymouth goods shed is! Still, that's not really madness. It looks like superlative modelling for the very highly skilled with very deep pockets. I would splash out the £22.50 on five canopy supports if I thought my building was up to it!
