RMweb Premium kevinlms Posted September 19, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 19, 2014 It's wrong to mock, but... Here we have for sale is what I beleave to be a oo gauge not sure as I don't no any thing about trains it was found cleaning my attic out not sure what make think it could be Hornby feels quite heavy looks in good condition for age tyred to show as many pictures to help u happy bidding http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/oo-gauge-train-/251649563571?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3a977b9bb3 It's a pannier, standing on its tail. Probably the most inept listing I've ever seen. To me its a posting by some one who hasn't got a clue about model railways (as the seller has stated). So they've have started the action at 99p. So what's the alternative, have a minimum period of modelling, before allowed to attempt to sell something, that they have zero interest in? Good luck to the seller I reckon. Certainly not trying to mislead anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy2 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 You didn't notice anything amiss with the English, or the fact that the photograph is orientated at 90º to the usual stance of a pannier tank? I said inept, not dishonest. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said inept, not dishonest. I know you did, but give me inept & poor grammar/spelling every time over deliberate lying such as 'factory weathered', 'professionally weathered', items clearly not anything like described - such as when the box says one thing, the actual model is something else. This is the sort of comments, usually discussed at length in this thread. I see 5 people have seen the item as the poster has suggested it to be & have put bids on it.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted September 20, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 20, 2014 What's with all this brown weathering? I seem to recall shades of grey/black (dirt and grease). Brake block dust (i.e rusty iron) did cause brown weathering but not very high. In my experience Southern Region emus of this period tended to have good external cleanliness above underframe level but nicely fbrowned (as was the Region's track in stations) below the bodywork plus patches where oil got and other dirt.

haslam999 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 This is interesting......looks like lots of black soot-like stuff has been emanating from the roof-mounted horns. It also looks like the number 2 end has driven into a pile of black powder paint? If this model depicts the real thing, Inverness should really take more care of their engines. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bachmann-Class-37-37262-Dounraey-in-Large-Logo-Livery-DCC-Fitted-/141414452635?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item20ecf54d9b Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
