TheWeatheringMan Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Just read the blurb on this piece of junk. Does anyone really want a Dublo 4MT chassis fitted with a Tri-ang 3MT body? (Above all at this ridiculous price!). There appear to be loading gauge issues too. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-DUBLO-TRI-ANG-LOCOMOTIVE-FOR-THREE-RAIL-RUNNING-/131382358735?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item1e96ffb2cf Note the N2 tank in the photo is not included, but is on sale separately with three modern Hornby coaches. (more amusing blurb!). incidentally the Hornby coaches will derail on Dublo pointwork (Been there, done that, didn't bother with the T-shirt!). Hi, If you want a good laugh just have a read of his description. Written by a two year old i'd say. Regards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EX-L.M.S./SOUTHERN REGION ??????) Just noticed the seller has this too. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-DOUBLO-PRE-WAR-STYLE-ENGING-SHEDS-AND-MESS-HUT-/131380779021?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item1e96e7980d For that price you could get the genuine article! They're not all that difficult to make yourself, being plywood. Edited December 23, 2014 by Il Grifone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thane of Fife Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) It seem that the vendor of: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-DOUBLO-PRE-WAR-STYLE-ENGING-SHEDS-AND-MESS-HUT-/131380779021?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item1e96e7980d has twice refused to complete sale on items as NOT ENOUGH WAS BID. Is he one of those who puts an unwritten reserve on items? Why does Ebay let him continue selling?

Bernard Apparently they are made for him by a professional. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131339694571 Ignore the guff about £150 upwards, Vectis (not the cheapest source) sold one for rather less than that not long ago - £110.) http://www.vectis.co.uk/Page/ViewAuctionLots.aspx?AuctionId=432&DayNo=1&Section=5935&Sub=0 Guesses are invited for his surprise item - My suggestion is the wooden footbridge? (it wouldn't have been one of Dublo's best products!) As to his feedback, I can understand him not wanting to part with his Trix coaches for a paltry sum but that is how eBay (or any other auction) works.

I leave that to others - making a reproduction that isn't marked as such, but does bear a likeness of the original trade mark transfer. Not only does it not look like an M7, it doesn't look much like anything... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Grifone Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 That's a 3MT. Hard to imagine purchasing anyone who turns product descriptions into ALL-CAPS WANDERING RANTS. The Tri-ang version was stretched a bit (can't understand why - they made a whole new chassis block and pony trucks for it, but were too mean to make new coupling rods* ) and the result is long enough to fit the 4MT chassis (again why - there's no shortage of any of the correct parts). *and used the wheels and the rods from the 3F tank, which are about a couple of scale feet too long. (Undersize wheels and over length rods look rather ridiculous IMHO. The model could have been quite reasonable for a little more care.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
