In the second picture of the Loco in the box:- 1.The cutting of the plastic film looks very untidy. 2. The picture omits a view of the cab ends. I know that R3262 is not normally associated with the Mazac pest problems. But I believe it was discounted at Hattons and people used the chassis as a replacement. Could these be the converse a model chassis swap with a Mazac pest chassis. KZ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted June 3, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) I'm not sure you could honestly claim a brand-new Hornby Pacer was a "good runner". Mine was a nightmare in the early 90's until we wired the two cars together.Agreed, back then my budget was limited, I soldered wires to the motor and a fishplate, then put a hole in the chassis body under the vestibule of both units to exit the Fishplate, then when ever connecting the unit together I joined the fishplates. The improvement was unbelievable. Edited June 3, 2017 by adb968008 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do they get.. someone's address, for what purpose ? Paypal surely needs full ID before they get any initial payment, am I missing the benefit of the scam here ? My Ebay account got hacked presumably clicking on a dodgy link many years ago, nothing to major, whoever hacked it was bombarding Ebay US sellers about quad bikes, jetski's trails bike's etc about postage to UK or accusing them of theft in my name. If they could do that then why not hack your account and use it to buy items off themselves? In theory you bought it and paid for it if your Paypal account is linked to Ebay, you don't need your Paypal password.
