Like someone paid £100 each for 6 of them including this one (plus whatever fees). in July 2020. https://auctions.specialauctionservices.com/m/lot-details/index/catalog/69/lot/34321 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted June 25 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 25 This annoys me - listed as brand new. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126532376306 In the second picture, the threads for the wheels don't look particularly brand new? Look at the first picture - when you zoom in, you can see the staple holes where it was closed originally. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium SteveyDee68 Posted June 25 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 25 (edited) Looking for something and this popped up… Not quite sure how Go$turd thinks he can put a price of £89.50 upon such a piece of an item … he does accurately describe it as an Airfix kit on top of a Triang bogie, but waxes lyrical about “sprung buffers” and “fine scale couplings”! He mentions “one front handrail stanchion is broken” but doesn’t say anything about a badly fitting cab roof or the damaged front edge of the cab! I mean, for only £79.80 (including £5.00 postage) you could have this instead… At least the 48DS looks as if it is meant to have four wheels!

RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted June 27 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 27 Reproduction 1949 Railway Modeller The one they gave away free with an anniversary issue of RM a few years ago.

Cheers Darius I've a few volume 2 issues... 🤪 You can tell the difference, the originals are on a rather matt paper, the repro one is on a high gloss paper throughout. One* has a review of the then newly introduced BR 10800 diesel, but thought that there would never be an RTR model**... https://railsofsheffield.com/blogs/news/bargain-Heljan-br-nbl-10800-locomotives * Vol. 2. No. 9. Mar-April 1951. Pages 52-54, including a scaled profile and end elevation diagram. ** "We are likely to see many more of these units in the next few years***... Whether we see them in model railways is another thing altogether" *** Alas 10800 was the only one of its kind, though similar beasts in the form of the Class 15/16 locos were perpetrated in the Pilot Scheme...

I believe that the box is the size it is so you could store the completed model in it afterwards! Perhaps its another example of buying a container of air...
