BlackRat Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I don't think you'll be needing that since there are supposed to be decent etched versions on offer these days.

And with the new 156 coming from realtrack all detailed all sing all dancing and £74 cheaper, I doubt it will ever sell. And kit built???? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Abel Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Why wait for Hornby to release the air-smoothed MN when you can get one RIGHT NOW, it's even a Hornby model, AND IT'S NEW!! Seems like I've missed one of Bulleids little-known creations, the hybrid Battle of Britain/Merchant Navy -> Sir Keith Park #35043! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-Battle-Of-Britain-Class-Sir-Keith-Park-/112218124178?hash=item1a20b8af92:g:xKsAAOSwEzxYOvbS Apparently the seller needs glasses "or something" given it's listed as NEW with a lovely piece of TAPE with the incorrect number for class stuck over the original on the cab side!

There is a another one in amongst the door and window fittings of his other listings: 'Hawkinge' 34041 (sometimes masquerading as 'Wilton'). So sad.

I had that once, in the days when it was still possible to post negative feedback. The buyer expected the item to turn up the day after he paid. Since he had paid in the evening when the post office was closed, this wasn't really going to work..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The box is a late fifties wagon box, presumably the one for the wagon. (The two boxes are probably 'worth' marginally more than their contents.)

cromptonnut Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Not railway related but it proves the benefit of reading the auction properly... My wife wanted a USB hub so I found one on Ebay, starting price 1p and £4.99 postage. So I put £1 max bid on but nobody else was interested and thus I was the winner of a USB hub for a fiver. Happy with that. Except it's not actually "a" USB hub I've bought. It was a job lot of brand new in packaging twenty six USB hubs for 1p plus P&P. I guess I've got extra Christmas presents now for everyone I know with a laptop but I'm not sure if Great Aunt Lucy will know what to do with hers...
