Horsetan Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Hi,Two thoughts here:(1) It says its from 'Rusty Rails' -i'd rather have a length of rusty rail - at least it would look more realistic.(2) It says its been given a 'professional coat of varnish' - what is an 'amateur coat of varnish' - one that you dont pay for perhaps. Rusty Nail, more like. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

royaloak Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I have so many questions to ask, but don't know where to start...... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Scrapyard-00-GAUGE-class-37-diesel-loco-heavily-rusted-and-weathered-ref-1-/111561615878?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item19f9972a06 Bought as a gift by somebody who hates me. Absolutely excellent authentic looking scrapyard diesel locomotive. Looks heavily rusted and weathered. Professionally mastered and painted from Rusty Rail. This is a unique model, hand painted by a professional pissartist depicting the heavy rusted and weathered locomotive. It has been finished with a professional coat of matt orange. Note: the loco does not run. It has no motor because I have salvaged the only bit worth keeping. This item is an absolute crap piece of Hornby ware and is very rare because nobody else is stupid enough to do this to a model and a great addition to all Hornby layouts if you want the other stuff to look good. Item is securely packaged in a tube for postage which will be a waste of a good tube. Starting with a high auction price and no reserve because there must be some wally out there who hits the wrong button on their keyboard. Many thanks for looking and good luck in the bidding if you are daft enough. I have edited the description for accuracy. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sort of profiteering makes Gosturde look like a rank amateur - original price from BR would have been no more than £25 on a bad day and could well have been a lot less as van bodies were dirt cheap at one time. But it has got 'a chassis' - which presumably makes it a lot more collectable? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanders Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 That sort of profiteering makes Gosturde look like a rank amateur - original price from BR would have been no more than £25 on a bad day and could well have been a lot less as van bodies were dirt cheap at one time. But it has got 'a chassis' - which presumably makes it a lot more collectable? To be fair, the BR version wouldn't have come insulated with a bed and kitchen. Or possibly even free of rot. The price is actually quite reasonable for a building like that, in good condition, "ready to plant". Just an empty shed that size can set you back £1000 these days!

The price is actually quite reasonable for a building like that, in good condition, "ready to plant". Just an empty shed that size can set you back £1000 these days! Hi, I wish !. Two years ago I had another building made fourteen feet square to extend my workshop facilities and give me a room to work on layouts and this cost £3700.00. By the time we had insulated it, fitted heating, lighting and other electrics plus double glazed upc windows it worked out at just over £6000.00 Mind you I would be hard pressed to resist a basic BR Van body to fit out.

RMweb Premium pete_mcfarlane Posted December 31, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 31, 2014 12 ton box van? For bonus points, identify the original diagram number..... At a guess it's a diagram 1/213 van, as it looks like it has plywood sides. Assuming it's not been resheeted and they've given the correct dimensions in the advert. For £8k I'd expect the seller to have thrown in some punctuation and at least one press of the F7 key to spell check the advert. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I have a memory of a price of 25/- per foot being quoted for old rolling stock bodies in the mid-sixties (just under the £25 quoted above, but you would have probably got a pre-nationalisation design back then).

The seller seems to be some sort of machine tool dealer. Have look at the 'rejected' bids. They tell a story as to what folk would be prepared to pay for such a mediocre effort. Let's hope for his sake his sale #3 will be more profitable! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
