Not surprised it's proving hard to shift. The seller would be better advised to get an auction house to do it. Given I’ve been after a GraFar 5MT for a while (I do have one, got it in January, but I knew little about zinc pest at the time of getting it, and tossed the chassis when it fell apart), I might message the seller and ask how much he’d like for just one of them… 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, it's a pig in a poke. Caveat emptor. 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieGuyRob Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 "This Hornby electric locomotive," is a rebuilt Merchant Navy as far as I can make out. Though it is a model that runs on electricity, so is isn't technically lying, it depicts a steam locomotive not an electric locomotive. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
