Il Grifone Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) Somehow, when dealing with Tri-ang, a collection sounds so much better than a set - as indeed would my teeth No-one would want a set of these coaches surely?

There's something about it that makes it worth a one way trip to the bin! Further to the Tri-ang coach saga here's a set of their third and fourth* attempts, from Gostur Gostude (at his usual prices). http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIANG-Hornby-R28-R29-R224-BR-CRIMSON-CREAM-COACH-RAKE-x-3-from-1960-MIB-qa-/370902510268?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item565b832abc If these are hard to find, it must be because so many have been thrown away. * As far as I can tell from the photos.

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted May 24, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 24, 2014 There is a rather nice and indeed rather tempting weathered Hornby M7 on Ebay right now which begs the question, if you have gone to all that trouble and care to produce such a fantastic looking model, why on earth did you not check to make sure it was properly placed on the rails before photographing it?!?

AliR53 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I was looking for a couple of bogies for a Lima Mk1 coach. Today 3 new bogies went for £10.50 + postage on eBay, but they were without wheels. You can usually get two Lima Mk1 coaches on eBay in very good condition, giving you 4 bogies with wheels for less than £8 + Postage and you don't have to look very hard. In fact a Mk1 Restaurant car has just gone for £3 with 1 bid. So the seller of the bogies must be laughing his socks off and the seller of the coach should have pulled the bogies off and sold them separately.

Yet another 'misdescription'. Kit built it isn't. Mint-in-box' it isn't. This would imply that it is totally unmarked and in its original box. No' as far as I know this stuff is all bought as job lots at 'toy' auctions and then moved on ebay at these prices. As we have said before on here that there must be buyers and 'collectors' who will pay these ludicrous prices. Goodness only knows why. Has anybody ever seen him actually auctioning anything?
