Il Grifone Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) There isn't anything about this listing that would constitute madness in the sense it is used in this thread and, for what it is, the price seems reasonable enough - but they do have a colourful way of describing the condition of their stock: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vintage-0-6-0-Terrier-Locomotive-Heavy-Tri-ang-Hornby/183219701971?hash=item2aa8bec8d3:g:T8gAAOSw3upa34ZD Perfectly normal for a Tri-ang 0-6-0 chassis. Good! I thought, you can fit a Hornby J52 body on a Tri-ang chassis, but then I realised it's whitemetal body kit (Wills I think) so designed to fit. :{ Interesting, but too much hassle to sort her out. Life is short.... Edited May 12, 2018 by Il Grifone 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life is short.... For what it's worth, the body is a Bec kit. Hattons have a picture of a well built version on their second hand section, or at least Google found one!

Why not, many railway operators stick vinyl on various stock. A personalised version, neatly done is OK. Not that I would ever buy one. Just like I wouldn't ever model contemporary graffitied items.

(I trust that doesn't count as politics!) The graffiti 'artists' should be made to clean it all off again! The latter is a great idea, the problem being the delay in catching up with the culprits. Many operators take the victim out of service until cleaned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should mean she will pull a house down.... 'Super-detailed' carries about as much clout as the term 'Super' Voyager though. FFS even VT tend to put the 'super' word in quote marks....

E3109 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Incidentally, the one and only time I visited Olivia's Trains they had an EM2 in the display case, in full Coca-Cola livery! I know they have form for taking the proverbial, but strewth.... Expect to see it on eBay soon, with a reserve of like £600 or summat.... Bids from spouses notwithstanding. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
