Horsetan Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 This just finished with no bids.Ignoring the asking price I find it astonishing that given the attention to detail spent on construction, wiring and packaging that the layout itself is so uninspired. Better layouts have ended up in a skip. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon G Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 This just finished with no bids. Ignoring the asking price I find it astonishing that given the attention to detail spent on construction, wiring and packaging that the layout itself is so uninspired. The layout just seems to be as much track etc crammed into as small a space as possible. The peripherals are worth more than the layout (Lenz DCC, locos, laptop etc). But at £14500, they are just taking the p*ss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWeatheringMan Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 It's described as a time vault capsule. Perhaps it should be buried now, save time later. Hi, My feeling is that the description 'time vault capsule' for what we call a layout just goes to show what sort of out of touch idiot is behind this overpriced rubbish.
