surfsup Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Now, I like a good project coach from time to time - Indeed I've got quite a range of FGW Mk3s sitting on my workbench waiting to be completed from a Mini Buffet to the Night Riviera rake, two versions of the TS-D, the ex HST buffets to a TC and am usually after the odd few more as I very much like my Dynamic Lines livery. But... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OO-gauge-NEAR-MINT-2x-Hornby-FGW-Purple-mk3-Coaches-41144-and-42296-/321686726568?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4ae605e7a8 Near Mint condition - only the odd small mark. Yeah, like a painted strip right on the First Great Western branding and the odd glue mark on the Dynamic lines. Worth £45? Not really if you paint or put something right over the branding. Mint Condition? Not really! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
talisman56 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Described as new or brand new five times, so it obviously is not. Why do wancers on ebay do this. Just be honest. Or, are they thick? Apart from the admitted missing back coupling - which isn't because he's got the tender the wrong way round, the chimney is missing and something is hooky with one of the tender wheelsets... Should there be a coupling on the front?

Just looking in and I spotted you can even discuss the fact your cat wont touch the cat-nip bought from ebay. http://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Buyer-Central/I-have-a-nuisance-seller-who-keeps-sending-me-abusive-messages/m-p/4211444#U4211444 It's a scary place.

Even I have better "layouts" than that! But it is what eBay is all about - some idot will think it is an auction game and keep pressing the buttons. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffnut Thorston Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Not junk in any way,but a bit pricey in my opinion eBay item number 321697459969 Nice....a Loco and 6 Pullman coaches, DCC fitted, etc. etc. A shame the listing doesn't state in Big Letters that it is a complete train....most will think it is the Loco only! (Yes, and named "Devon Belle"....not everyone is an expert!) With all the lights lit up on the front, it must be a Royal Devon Belle.... I don't think that these locos had red lenses on the lights for tail lamps though! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321697459969?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D321697459969%26_rdc%3D1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
