Surely if the instruction sheet is included it should show how many parts there are, or perhaps he/she cannot count!!!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

C&WR Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Having recently read The Boys Book of Airfix (bought at a sensible price from Amazon bearing in mind it used to show up in The Works & similar discounters for a pittance) those kits are pretty important to Airfix collectors...

Smiffy2 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I had the full set, and still have some in pieces in the loft. They were great kits for the period. I remember that spoked wheels were embossed transparent discs which you painted - that was where I learned drybrushing. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the actual toad that Stanier travelled in, when he embarked for Northern climes. (What is a Northern Clime? Ah, Greengrocer! A pound of your finest Climes, please!)...

PatB Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 'Snot Lima. It's the genuine Triang article in that rather spiffing shade of green that they did (vs the bright red alternative). Whether that makes it worth eight quid is debateable . It's probably roughly equivalent to the prices such wagons were going for back c1980 when they formed the mainstay of many 0 gauge freight fleets.

Horsetan Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) This 9F tender is doing quite nicely.... Really.. Is there something in the bunker I don't know about. That's nearly enough for the complete locomotive! BR1B/C/D tenders always seem to sell well, whether Hornby or Bachmann, mainly because they rarely come up as spares. The BR1D from Hornby's new-generation "Britannia" can command as much as fifty quid on its own. There'll always be people wanting to put them behind 4MT 2-6-0s and 4-6-0s, 5MTs, Britannias and 9Fs. The internals are fairly easily modified to change it from "B" to "C"/"D" or even "E" (for the DoG) I got lucky last week and snaffed a Hornby BR1B (from the 4MT 4-6-0) for £17.
