MrWolf Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Don't want to be put on the naughty step, or worse still, sent off for "re-education". I suppose I had better look for some overpriced rubbish on eBay, I keep finding lots of it, but it's outside of the model railways and trains category. Must try harder. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium SteveyDee68 Posted December 16, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 16, 2022 Does this count as “madness”? I watched a Hornby J94 with a starting bid of £40 out of interest - it’s the version with the high coal bunker, so not really of interest to me, but useful to see what it might sell for in order to gauge bids for items I am interested in… (Legitimate research!) It didn’t sell - unsold at opening bid of £40… It’s been relisted … opening bid of £47?! I’m going to watch again, but why increase the price? It’s definitely more than 10% “inflation”!! HOURS OF FUN! 1 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You beat me to it posting that one! 😀 It's also rather odd that the loco has a Tri-ang motorised chassis and the tender appears also to be motorised, this time by Hornby.
