giz Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Some of the stuff that "micmcn" / "Cartmel" has are suprisingly cheap (to my eyes) - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MAINLINE-37406-PATENT-NUT-BOLT-Co-7-PLANK-WAGON-MIB-/300732742417?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item4605117b11 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-DUBLO-MODEL-No-2234-CO-CO-CREPELLO-DIESEL-CODE-3-/300911128112?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item460fb36e30 Not that I'll buy either.

It's a Bo-Bo rather than a Co-Co and the couplings don't even extend beyond the ends of the body! There's one on correct bogies for less: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-DUBLO-2234-2-RAIL-CO-CO-DELTIC-DIESEL-CLASS-55-D9012-CREPELLO/390783728068?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D286%26meid%3D5110621735839845786%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1048%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D300911128112%26 Edited February 26, 2014 by giz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Grifone Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 That unfortunate Deltic has been on sale for ages! I can't imagine why no-one has bought her. (The only redeeming feature of this ill advised** Dublo offering is the ability to pull almost anything attached to it*. Fitted with Tri-ang bogies it's lost even that - above all if they have the awful knurled wheels. *Like small boys on trolleys! **I think most of its target customers would have preferred Dublo's A4 (then twenty years old) and a far better model IMHO. I wonder want he wants for the Rivarossi track. 'Code 3' is intended to mean a model in a livery not supplied by its manufacturer's (ie a repaint), but tends to mean 'bu##ered up!

I'd happily let him have it for 40 quid and he could still turn a healthy profit and save me the aggro of listing it and paying all the twiddly bits such as Ebay fees. But on second thoughts as mine is MIB perhaps he'd pay twice as much for it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But because they usually warped so they looked like a banana! This is one of the later reissues in polystyrene. It's true the earlier ones are always warped to a greater or lesser degree. (The Pullmans are even worse.) None of them are worth much, though the later Pullmans and the C.I.W.L. version usually command rather higher prices. For the hate list, add 'Horby', 'Horny' and 'Duplo' (unless it really is 'Lego') and anything listed under the wrong make or, even worse, muliple makes, and last, but certainly not least, 'professionally weathered' Edited February 27, 2014 by Il Grifone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Neil Posted February 27, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 27, 2014 Here's something a bit out of the ordinary for Blue Pullman fans. Now I should mention that the seller is a mate of mine and when I saw this I was intrigued why anyone would take the trouble to do this; might it be the remains after a Triang cut and shut to get a genuine BP car not produced at the time? As you can probably tell, I'm no expert on the posh dmu. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatB Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Pretty sure we've seen the HST before. As to the Blue Pullman oddity, I see it as another of those tributes to the ingenuity of past modellers who, instead of publicly bellyaching that the manufacturers weren't producing what they wanted, sat down at the kitchen table with a modest skillset, a modelling knife and a tube of glue and used what they could get to build a representation of what they couldn't. It probably took a fair bit more bottle than I've got to take the junior hacksaw to a pair of BP power cars, dummy or not . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
