Horsetan Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Peco have apparently stopped making track. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peco-Streamline-HO-OO-BOXED-Railway-Track-18-Lengths-each-90cm-long-VERY-RARE/232869831888?hash=item36381fa4d0:g:WXkAAOSwEMdbYKNY Very rare? Really? Is it rare to find 18 lengths in a slightly waterstained box? It's probably rare to find it in any box at all.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Click the word "listing". It is a link to the item you wanted to view. Yes, but it's still annoying. It switches as soon as an item ends, so you can't even see by how much you were outbid without hassle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I think everything he's selling is either RARE or collectable. He's even got some rare collectable Lima. The only thing he hasn't got is some AWESOME stuff https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JOBLOT-of-Vintage-Lima-Coaches-Hornby-Wagons-VGC-Some-Rare-Collectable/232869874200?hash=item3638204a18:g:92EAAOSw4fZbYKu6 The only things there that might possibly be classed as rare are the coaches, which you can't even see....

Note that, despite the exorbitant price (they usually sell for around a fiver or so), it has no motor. It claims to be a '5700' but IMHO is actually a '2721' (note the chimney, running plate valance and steps), but always reminds me of the old joke: "If I wuz you sur, I wouldn't start frum yur!"

That said I have no idea where you might get a cab for a reasonable sum. Gibbo. This seems someone who is trying to outdo Gostude & Co. but with a load of cra junk. The price for the unfortunate SNCF loco and her tender are rather more than an unbuilt kit would cost I feel. This kit was rather ill advised. Being expensive (12/6d IIRC) and a foreign prototype it did not sell well in this country and, being 4mm scale, it didn't in France. Italian and German prototypes suffered the same fate (Gr 835 0-6-0T and Br 23 2-6-2). Here's a better one at half the price (I wouldn't say, "Superb" but she's not bad). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KITMASTER-OO-NO-23-231P-SNCF-MOUNTAIN-LOCO-TENDER-241P29-SUPERB-PRE-BUILT-/263825158182 Edited August 9, 2018 by Il Grifone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought quite a few of the Kitmaster kits go for inflated prices, particularly the ones that didn't survive to the Airfix and later Dapol ranges as they are now rare.
