Il Grifone Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Furthermore, you may also end up handling stolen goods: A browse through his listings produces lots of 'bargains'! This one (he's got two of these - the other is 'cheaper' , presumably for no box or maybe because it's thrown together): http://www.ebay.co.u...c#ht_788wt_1112 and for the centenary: http://www.ebay.co.u...7#ht_840wt_1065 (or you might prefer this one http://www.google.co...ved=0CFYQ8gIwAg - You get TWO kits in a presentation box!) Must get on with mine, but I had problems getting the two halves of the hull to fit together properly (not unusual with Revell kits - they do/did some nice H0 static locomotives however) Edited March 15, 2012 by Il Grifone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Belgian Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I have just seen this, purporting to be a Bachmann S&D 7F catalogue no. 31-011, which it clearly isn't. Can anyone identify it?

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted March 16, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 16, 2012 That's a Golden Arrow kit on a Hornby 8F chassis unless I'm very much mistaken. Pretty well done mind you, but the porosity in the boiler barrel give it away. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty well done mind you, but the porosity in the boiler barrel give it away. Correct. I've just compared it with my Bach one and the motion bears no resemblance whatsoever to the proper one. Surprising, because he is a 'dealer' and I would have thought that he would know better. It can't obviously be a Bachmann, just look at the tender drawbar. Interesting that nobody has put in a bid. I agree though, that it's quite nicely done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
