C&WR Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) ...Don't people try looking for second hand items at exhibitions or model shops anymore?... Well there is no serious model shop anywhere near me and maybe three or four exhibitions a year which are only advertised locally (i.e.on lamp posts, on the Supermarket community boards, and with the occasional sign in a MRC member's garden) or in the specialist press, so how is the novice supposed to know either that the shows exist or what a sensible price is? Oh dear........ yellow again http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-20T-Brake-Wagon-resprayed-Network-Rail-1-76th-OO-Scale-/310907289437?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item486384bf5d An advantage of yellow being really difficult to paint. Get a dodgy finish and call it weathered! Edited April 2, 2014 by C&WR 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Belgian Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Here's a nice one from the States - note the end date! (Santa Fe never had such a machine). But he must have made the model!!! - and look at the number of bids . . . JE Edited April 1, 2014 by Belgian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, NOT Battlespace! The Battlespace well wagon was Khaki Green!

Ruffnut Thorston Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Something along those lines, yes! (AFAIK as originally sold, it was one of Margate's imaginative flights of fancy.....) (I'd like to be proved wrong, as I have one in a drawer somewhere.) This Mail coach was part of the Transcontinental range (TC Series) and was released after the success of the BR Range Royal Rail TPO (The short one!) As it uses the same "works" as the Royal Mail coach, and I suspect picking up mail on the move was not very common "abroad", the provenance is open to question. Most probably based on a Mail Car, with the TPO works slotted in. Most probably Canada or USA inspiration.... Originally Maroon "Tri-ang Railways", in C1962 it was replaced by "Transcontinental" lettered cars in Red and Blue. Later a red car with large "MAIL" lettering arrived. A Battlespace Khaki green version was also available, the mobile command car. Finally the TC car replaced the Shorty BR TPO in BR Blue and Grey livery, as it was longer, and fitted in better with the 11 inch mk1 and Mk 2 coaches! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crantock Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Sir Henry Fowler is often misjudged. His innovations included breaking away from the standard midland wheelbase and the introduction of taper boilers.

RMweb Premium mezzoman253 Posted April 2, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 2, 2014 What is this all about then? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Exhibition-Club-Layout-Track-/111308552048?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item19ea81b770 The title is Exhibition Club Layout track as are the photos but in the description is "Welcome to this auction for the seated figure in the first picture. Also available is the ex-WMRC Exhibition layout 16' x 11'................." At the very least misleading but perhaps someone is trying to be clever? Tony I see some were taken in by this it went for £35. He's either duped the buyers or lost a layout for £35. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111308552048?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
