It is a massive market place though with low costs (if you use their offers) and you can easily get 80+% of new value for second hand items, which is ridiculous compared to the old card in a newsagent approach. I feel I've pushed my luck a bit recently using it a lot but now I've got through the ridiculous stash of kits i was never going to make, wont be doing so regularly, 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a kit is involved. It's chopped from a 156 Apart from being the wrong length and incorrect side door configuration... It would have been better based on a 150. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) I like that it "can be collected in person from our shop..." So it's £100 plus the fine for breaking the isolation curfew? Bargain. Pedants please note that I am fully aware that this is their standard selling template etc etc... Seems a little steep, not that I am an expert on Hornby coaches. If buying it will definitely add £100 to the value of your Brighton belle set then okay, we can dismiss the fact that it is basically a mass produced piece of plastic from China. But somehow I doubt it. Three days of lockdown and cabin fever is creeping in already, I'm looking at Southern region stock... Gotta go, it's gone really quiet and I have a nasty feeling that Miss Riding Hood is sharpening something.

That will be a supplementary charge for the "free refills" of coffee in first class at a guess.

RMweb Premium RichardT Posted March 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 26, 2020 Good luck with this one - perhaps he’s hoping to sell to a collector of quintessentially 1980s-style packaging https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/00-Gauge-4mm-Keyser-GWR-Low-Siphon-Wagon-Kit-APW3-Unbuilt-Light-Brown/223904754148? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 That's been for sale for ages, he was hanging out for £32.99 before Christmas, when I bought an identical item for the starting bid of £6.99 + £3.50 post. I then committed a cardinal sin, binned the box and the awful triang / kitmaster style wheels, built it with scale wheels and three links, painted it and stuck it on the layout. After a 40 year sabbatical, it has finally fulfilled its purpose. And I'll do it again! 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
