Il Grifone Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) I wouldn't want it because it's not a hard-to-find Code 3 version But it is just that! ("Code 3" means "got at" or "molested") I reckon the Romford wheels are probably worth more than the rest of it. Incidently there appears to be a spate of 'weathered' (usually badly) Bachmann wagons at well over the new price!

ozzyo Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I know that the Royal Mail have been extorting postage lately, but this million pound baby puts Jadlam Racing Models to shame... http://www.ebay.co.u...=item27c669c49b I would not say that £4.00 is that bad.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted April 30, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 30, 2012 Strangely people do - just see the difference for a Hornby Dublo model with an 'export' sticker on the box! And good business it can be too - first thing I ever sold on Ebay was an old Dinky Toy box - for £21 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandc_au Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 The way I read it is, 3.99 local (UK) and 1,000,000.00 for overseas postage....... Khris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 He obviously doesn't want the hassle of sending abroad. The two items I've sent abroad were both a pain. One was paid by e-cheque and took a month to clear and the other I received negative feedback for 'item damaged', despite stating clearly 'damaged' in the listing and only getting around £5 for it (a Lima Italian diesel). This seems a tad expensive http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OO-4mm-HO-USA-UK-Bachmann-Ezmate-coupling-set-x1-pack-B2c-/230781066103?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item35bb9f9b77 I paid 60p new for the last ones I bought a few years ago.

RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted May 3, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 3, 2012 Apart from the unrealistic price and unrealistic grafitti it is not a bad representation of a scrap loco. Though I don't unerstand how the wheel quartering would go so out of sync on the real thing. Surely all the wheels would move in unison when the locomotive is moved without coupling rods. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I don't unerstand how the wheel quartering would go so out of sync on the real thing. Surely all the wheels would move in unison when the locomotive is moved without coupling rods. Only if all wheels are of identical circumference will they stay in line. If one wheel is a thousanth of a mm different then after 1000 rotations it will be 1mm out after 10,000 rotations it will be 1cm out and after 100,000 rotations it will be 10 cm out The wheels on the locos if moved without coupling rods will get out of synch. I dont know how different the wheels became in use but with wear according to weight distribution I would not be surprised at up to a cm in circumference difference Same with car tyres your speedo will in a mechanical system read differently according to wear 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 More likely being shunted around sharp curves that does it - the cone angle on the wheels only works on moderate curvature, so on tight curves one wheel on each axle will be forced to slip on the rail. If on one axle the left wheel slips and on the other the right wheel slips, it will only take a couple of shunts before all the wheels are completely out of sync.
