RMweb Premium rab Posted October 28, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 28, 2015 Did they make the real Forth Bridge out of lumpy wood and then paint it badly ? Perhaps the lumps are meant to represent the layers of paint applied over the years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted October 28, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 28, 2015 I think the intention is to send it Special Delivery, and the eventual parcel might go over 1kg. If under that, it would be £8.55 / 8.65 It's only a light brass kit and is to sent by 48 hr Parcel Farce: £11.00 United Kingdom Standard Delivery (Parcelforce 48) Estimated within 2-3 working days Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is a "nice glue mark"? Cheers, Mick I've got one of those (less glue mark nice or otherwise). She has number plates on both sides and I didn't pay anything like 60 quid for her.....

Il Grifone Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Gripes. I've a few of those and some plastic ones (thick & thin). Keith They're usually about a pound each from dealers in spares, but a pair can often be acquired with a wagon or coach attached for this figure, with the rivet thrown in (or rather two of them).

Nick Holliday Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Can't seem to post an address for this, but our friend Gostude is dabbling in Gauge 1 and has this GAUGE 1 SCRATCH KIT BUILT SOUTHERN SR LBSC 0-6-0 CLASS E2 TANK LOCO 2104 at nearly £1,000. Unfortunately, painting the number of an E2 onto an 0-6-0 tank doesn't make it an E2, and at nearly a grand, I'd want it at least to look the part - SIMPLY STUNNING - Indeed!

hayfield Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I bet this pleases you.... ;-) Horstan I was half looking at it and thought after our chat you may have been watching it. I was so busy when it stopped to look or bid, having said that at lunchtime I had written it off as the body had reached £35 with a few bidding and as a new one would cost £65 it was getting close to the crossover where I think buying a new one is better. The chassis had reached £19.95 a new one is £25. So the total price was not that appealing if I had to up the bids I have hankered after one of these for the best part of 45 years, as a School boy I looked at the Wills kits but they were just too expensive. It took me several years to find one at a decent price on Ebay, I was very close to ordering one from Dave at SEF when I found mine. Having said all this the kit was untouched in mint condition and these are in the non-revised selection of loco kits coupled with most reaching nearly new prices. With old Wills loco kits I consider several things, firstly is it one of the revised or non-revised kits, Dave Ellis will sell the new parts but I am less inclined to pay high prices for the revised kits unless of course they are the revised Southeastern Finecast kits, also are the wheels, motor and gears included With built kits they normally have wheels motor and gears and this does increase the value of the kit, but a view must be taken on the quality of the parts/build etc Coming back to this kit, why not buy a new one off Dave at a lower price? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
