This attention seeking "LOOK" is now being used by Cheltenham Model Centre. It's like a spreading disease and this item is so mundane that it certainly isn't worth the effort of looking.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a proper picture instead of a drawing!

Like so:

Change the number a blast of the airbrush ,http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/13079-Bachmann-Class-08-Expertly-Renumbered-Weathered-By-TMC-/261509427253?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3ce32d3035

I don't know how they can get away with these price they ask for?.

 

So, I must be an expert, as I can do the re-numbering bit....though I don't have an airbrush....;)

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.

I missed a bargain.

Living within 25 miles I could have claimed the free delivery.

:offtopic:  Not Madness as such - but this made me laugh when I thought it must be part of the Australian navy

Also - you'd think sellers would check their image uploads?

The new weathering approach.

 

Bury loco in your fire grate for six months.  Then offer for sale on eBay.

Maybe it's just the thing to run on that time capsule layout?

Seemingly so - but the "description" clearly states to study the PICTURES as they are part of the description and what you will receive!!! :jester: If you bought it and did NOT receive the complete loco I'm sure eBay would support a claim, besides who'd pay that much just for the body when...

 

he also has this item http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WRENN-W2229-B-R-BLUE-4-6-2-CITY-OF-GLASGOW-EXCELLENT-CONDITION/301364900361?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D28111%26meid%3D509f41ac0cf74ea3b112e415bf8a3740%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D11472%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D371196893968&rt=nc which is definitely a "different" one as you can see from the tape marks on the box which is declared to be the entire loco AND is 5 quid cheaper?!?!??! :O

So what's the point ?    I know, it's the sharp bit on the end :jester:   Sorry, I'm just in a very flippant mood, ce soir.....
