RMweb Premium JZ Posted May 3, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) Doing a bit of research on Iron Minks and was suggested that I read 'All about Iron Minks' by Lewis,Lloyd, Metcalfe & Miller.

I should add that there are two more copies on eBay, both at £7.95 with free p+p. Edited May 3, 2016 by JZ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller does note that it is an "odd combination" though... As per the photos. My first reaction on seeing this was 'what an odd combination', and it certainly is that. It was only when I took it to my repairer that I became aware of it's function. The carriage contains a layout camera and the loco is just something to push it around. The two are electrically linked. I have track tetsed the combination and the locomotive runs well with a working red light at the rear. The clear bulb in the front of the carriage illuminates the track. Whether the camera works I do not know but I do not have any reason to believe that it does not. I also do not know how it interphases with a computer, presumably it unplugs from the carriage. It is not 'Blue Tooth', as far as we could tell. Data storage would appear to be in the camera itself but I have absolutely zero knowledge of this type of thing. I have done my very best to report all that I know about this. It is a sold as seen item. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Posted Yesterday, 19:55 I offered £25 for the kit for a laugh, and his counter offer was £250 less the wheels? I thought £250 was the price anyway? It is now offered at £200. If he waits for too long, SEF/Branchlines will reintroduce the Nucast NC043 with a NS chassis kit for around £90.

Horsetan Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Wait until it reaches £50. The seller is definitely on this Forum, judging by the fairly quick changes he has made to the spec, e.g. removing the Ultrascale wheels shortly after I remarked that they were wrong for the class, and that frames could only be had from AGW.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
