Rail-Online Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Not really madness, but this type of advert with the pic of a finished model I find very annoying. It is especially so with this one where the photo (pinched from here or another site?) is not of the kit being sold! https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Ratio-714-LMS-ex-Midland-Suburban-All-3rd-Brake-Coach-Plastic-Kit-00-Gauge-T48/1743861835?iid=301937586894&_trkparms=aid%3D888007%26algo%3DDISC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D55677%26meid%3De21e8227c3ae4702a55cce1af48974c7%26pid%3D100009%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26sd%3D283353668253%26itm%3D301937586894&_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982 The ratio kit does not build into a Motor Train driving trailer (push pull coach). It looks like a Larry Goddard coach to me! Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin S-C Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Wow, some keen bidding going on here. I was in the game up to the 40 quid mark but threw in my cards at that point. EDIT: Ouch. The 6-wheel brake went for £158 and the 4-wheel sundries van for £93. Edited January 27, 2019 by Martin S-C Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) D & S kits always fetch big money. That reminds me I must finish the ones I've got stashed away. Cartmel's autocoach is likely to remain "HIGHLY ATTRACTIVE & HARD TO FIND" at that price! (Felix is not going to help it to sell either.)

RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted January 27, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2019 Wow, some keen bidding going on here. I was in the game up to the 40 quid mark but threw in my cards at that point. Image34.png EDIT: Ouch. The 6-wheel brake went for £158 and the 4-wheel sundries van for £93. Have to admit the £63.77 was me - I've been toying with the idea of pickup up a decent ready made one to give me an idea of what they are supposed to look like, and I had a 10% voucher. Unsurprisingly it went for way more than that so bought another B17 McGowan for £36 instead - a lot more than the last one but at least it has the right tender for me this time (and there are two more up for £80+). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolseley Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I was checking out eBay to see whether there were any reasonably priced island platform extension pieces (there weren't) and I came upon this gem for US$48 plus US$25 postage: Old Vintage Die Cast Hornby Dublo Station from England 1950 Very RareOn platform has one cabin also. Its rare and unique, and must for trains stations collectors. Probably the commonest Dublo accessory from the three rail era. The only thing rare and unique about it is the condition. I have never seen one as bad as this...... https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Old-Vintage-Die-Cast-Hornby-Dublo-Station-from-England-1950-Very-Rare/253181396378?hash=item3af2c9859a:g:zmoAAMXQR-dRFGPj 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HD figures can cover the holes. *Usually more expensive than the island platform with the building! This one looks like it had a close encounter with someone's foot while laid out on the floor.

I've started getting a lot of that too and Amazon do it as well, I make a point of never buying from anywhere that's been suggested to me, but I guess some people do or it wouldn't be worth them doing it. It annoys me, I think we should be able to opt out of all this data collection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can, simply disallow 'cookies' for chosen website. Use with care though as by doing so it will also disable other more useful tools such as remembering username/password at login and previous shopping cart details etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonMW Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I think it needs another coat of paint dear, I can still see the rivet-thingies... WILLS KIT BUILT OO GAUGE GWR 0-6-0 PANNIER TANK LOCOMOTIVE 5757 Looks like he has picked up a job lot of kit-built GWR stock. Lots of them... amazingly, you'd think whoever built that many would have started to develop some skills. Alas, no... I think a house brush was used to paint it.
