RMweb Premium rab Posted January 17, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 17, 2019 ebay ones are A2 stainless, the toolstation ones look cheap zinc plated, not even bright zinc so not the same product. Also presumably tool station charge for delivery on that Small packs are going to cost more per unit We could do with a few of those on this forum to keep conversations on thread.

Il Grifone Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hmm I've got an Athearn F7B body that needs a chassis.... Then I could give the unfortunate Mainline body the decent burial it deserves! There is no mention of whether it works or not though and I doubt Pemco spares are widely available even in the States. A worldwide eBay search produced only a few freight cars and labels for sardines! It went for over eighteen quid! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) Did the lister mis-hear 'fourteen' when they asked how much they should list this unpainted Grampus for? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dapol-A018-UNPAINTED-Grampus-Wagon/222672783301?epid=1053398362&hash=item33d85507c5:g:5YgAAOSwG-1Z26VT:rk:22:pf:0 It makes this look like a bargain! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dapol-A018-Plastic-Model-Unpainted-OO-Gauge-Scale-1-76-Railway-Grampus-Wagon/263898568556?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140122125356%26meid%3D3bb6636d723a4948b28c2d7e597f5227%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D222672783301%26itm%3D263898568556&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 Or you could get it already painted direct from Dapol for about the same price.

Il Grifone Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Good grief ! That looks like an ancient triang 2-6-2 chassis under that body! Phil Princess/Britannia I think, but definitely Tri-ang. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 ebay ones are A2 stainless, the toolstation ones look cheap zinc plated, not even bright zinc so not the same product.
