Il Grifone Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) It looks like it's been flocked. C'mon £50 a bargain! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VERY-RARE-TRIANG-Hornby-R659-0-4-0-TOP-TANK-BLACK-Sold-as-part-of-the-RS59-set-/232328252012?hash=item3617d7ca6c:g:nQQAAOSwsXFZEO07 It's one of those things that's rare because no one wants it! I would think £50 would buy the whole set with change.... The seller has quite a few other overpriced items on offer, for example http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-Dublo-32081-D1-Tank-Wagon-Esso-OO-HO-Gauge-/232327633611?hash=item3617ce5acb:g:qukAAOSw-K9ZEGQk One of these, the commonest Dublo tank wagon, would only be worth that sort of money in excellent condition, not rusty with bits missing. There's this one from eBay's suggestions http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/D127-32081-Hornby-Dublo-Petrol-Tank-Wagon-Esso-D1/112315619547?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D43782%26meid%3D7ef8a91a9a6c47a4be5d633dca079a2b%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D2%26sd%3D232327633611 Edited May 9, 2017 by Il Grifone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 He's in good company, though. There are loads of sellers trying to flog pages torn out of the Railway Modeller, etc. I wonder if anyone is daft enough to buy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolseley Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Needs LMS branding and numbers. A bit Flatironish don't you think? I was thinking it looked rather like an ex-Highland railway Struan Banker. Also, in spite if there being one too many pairs of driving wheels, there is a certain resemblance to an ex-Caledonian 0-4-4T.

jwealleans Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Referring back to John's post above, I heard back from Graham Varley. They are his work (I had an inkling I recognised some of them from a BRM article many years ago) but were painted by Brian Badger and certainly had nothing to do with Larry or Derek Lawrence. Graham has been in touch with the seller to point this out, but he hasn't changed the description. No surprise there. If anybody does fancy a punt at those prices, they will be absolutely top quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
