AireValley1962 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Rails have joined the Gosturde gang. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OO-GAUGE-KIT-BUILT-COVERED-OPEN-PLANK-WAGON-/201397395274?hash=item2ee4385f4a To me they seem to have placed a extra '0' on the end . . . take it off, and they'd do very well.

Il Grifone Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) Warning - pedant mode on! For £79.50, I would expect the sheet to be correctly roped, pin-point bearings, full brake gear, equalisation/springing, sprung buffers, screw couplings (2 links????) and the model to be in 0 scale*. Were there any LMS vehicles built with LNER style brake gear? and 13' wheelbase??? The "BAUXITE" looks grey to me as well. It appears to be a Kirk or early Parkside kit, fitted with Nucro/Jackson wheels and Smith's 3 link couplings (with a bit missing!). The sheet doesn't appear to drape properly either. (Puddles of rain water would be likely, seeing the British weather - that's why the GWR favoured sheet rails.) Sorry for being pedantic, but the exorbitant price (£7.95 would still not be a bargain price, even allowing for postage, but all the above would be acceptable) invites it. * The price realised by assembled kits rarely reflects the time spent in their assembly. Pedant mode off. Edited September 12, 2015 by Il Grifone 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted September 12, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) The 'splatter/daub' method for 'weathering/ageing' is not confined to our hobby! The musicians on here will be amused at what I found here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Squier-by-Fender-Vintage-Modified-Jaguar-Bass-/221878807878?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276 whilst looking for a particular instrument. In the description were these words: " ...and has a rustic look to it due to the addition of spray paints to the main body," ! I'm not sure that 'rustic' is the right word here. I wouldn't want to be seen playing it anyway! Seriously, sometimes these 'wierdo' offerings can be a bargain (if nobody buys it at this price). I'm looking for one to pull apart and rebuild with custom shop parts and electronics. Edited September 12, 2015 by Re6/6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

centraltrains Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Where do I start?!? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-Virgin-Train-00-Gauge-/281802901544?hash=item419cc30828 It's not Hornby. Only 1 picture at a poor angle! Does the auction only have 2 coaches or is it a full 4/5 car voyager or the shortened 3 car? Price is excellent but with hardly any description and not many photos you can see why no one has bidded. Though to be honest I brought a Bachmann Class 220 a few years ago which was a very poor listing (better than this one though) but I gambles upon it though as it has been DCC fitted and I got it for about £50 and it runs really well now!
