A rare opportunity to purchase a much sought after model of the elusive LMS N2 0-6-2. ''Stunning detail'' ---- evidently. (Not really) a bargain at £60. PS seller has lots more like this. Cheers, Rich I expect the price-enhancement is due to it being displayed on a purple cloth. The "stunning detail" arises only if you hit someone with it, although that can be achieved with any HD N2! Those "LMS" decorations. They look like the sort of self-adhesive stickers that can be obtained elsewhere on ebay...

Same seller has these listed https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305368732526?itmmeta=01HT5PY9D483F752B0DC0FS1T4&hash=item471965136e:g:3W8AAOSw-BllsRbB We all may know that good quality Wrenn material has some serious collectors prepared to pay good money. However-------The AI blah blah for this lot says '' have been professionally upgraded with rare and expertly detailed features such as very precise and detailed rusting over the carrigies to give them a more authentic and real look'' Apart from the ''El Diablo'' AI machine apparently having trouble with the spelling of carriages I think ''carelessly devalued '' is a more fitting description. Some on here may remember my tale of my old friend who made his living buying selling vintage 45 and 78 rpm vinyl and shellac blues, jazz and soul records. His grading system was pretty normal Mint, Ex, Vg Poor etc. His unique bottom grade was POBAC. (previously owned by a cretin) Nuff said.

RMweb Premium TinTracks Posted March 29 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 29 Here's a couple of bargains for any Triang fans looking for spare Brake Van Bodies. Item 1. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276390468755 Item 2. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276390468712 TBH the Triang shorty body does look cute fixed on top of an old HD SWB wagon chassis and painted up in NCB livery. Seller asking just under £11 each inc P&P. Mine cost 10p each table top sale. Time for my medication. Cheers again. Rich 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
