Il Grifone Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) Not madness but just curious... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-OO-GAUGE-PULLMAN-COACH-BODYS-/152108985636?hash=item236a66ed24:g:BzIAAOSw6btXTDhC http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-OO-GAUGE-COACH-BODYS-/351746171428?hash=item51e5b4a224:g:sqkAAOSw0gdXTDkU Can these be old Farish ones. If so they're in remarkably good condition considering they usually look mangled/distressed! Definitely Farish, they're probably some of the odd bodies that were cleared in the late fifties. Never having been fitted on the cast underframe (infamous for 'growing' due to alloy problems), they will have suffered less stress than usual and warped less. The typical Farisn 'sway back' roof is in evidence, though considerably less than normal. (In the sixties, they were reissued in polystyrene and these are usually warp free.)

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted June 9, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 9, 2016 Here's an interesting one, Lima Italian diesel for sale on e-bay £28. The seller boasts 'Brand new Lima blister packed italian locomotive. Hobby range so not over detailed but a new 12v dc model locomotive for £30.00 amazing. At this price I can't see it hanging aground.' However same loco direct from Hornby, £19.99. Makes the basic RailRoad 0-4-0s such as: http://www.Hornby.com/uk-en/shop/new-arrivals/railroad-0-4-0-kelly-son-paper-mill.html look a bit overpriced!

(It's in stock at Hornby @ £12.99 +PP or free PP if you spend £30) The really must be some super-mugs out there if they can get away with that.

haslam999 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 As we're talking about camouflage....the roof of this looks like the wing of a Spitfire.

jonny777 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) I have worked it out, at around 1 Aus $ = 50p sterling. Although you don't have to buy it. Hattons have them for £81, and Rails for £76.50 (other retail suppliers are available) but I don't know the overseas postage rates for something of that size and value, so I can't say if it would be that much cheaper by the time you received it.

Postage from Hatton's to OZ is £7 and less than the 20% VAT that they will deduct for you, so buying from them will be much cheaper.

RMweb Gold RFS Posted June 15, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 15, 2016 Ok this one takes the absolute urine! Well known box shifter listing a used Dapol Provincial 156 on eBay for £109.50. Same retailer selling brand new Dapol Provincial 156 (the exact same item) via their website for £99.50. That's disappointing, Paul But they're open to offers. I'm sure if you offered £99.50 it would be accepted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
