Il Grifone Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) Not entirely convinced of "build to a good standard" here. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item336cee11b7 I wonder how much the declined offer was. 10p for the Tri-ang wagon underframe? (the 2 Hornby ones are worth less than the bin to put them in!) Spares for the porter are available here, if anyone is interested (I doubt it!).

Il Grifone Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Not surpising there were no bids. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2324ab38e4 Maybe if the loco had her box too, but as is about £50-60 I would say*. The boxed wagon is worth nearly as much as the loco! Neither is rare of course. I love the eccentric spelling and use of the English language! *Assuming the other side is as good and that everything works - possibly not the case, seeing how the body is is fitted to the chassis..

Il Grifone Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 And what's more, the tank wagon has bits missing You're right I missed that! They made tens of thousands and a good percentage seem to have survived. (IIRC without checking, they made about 250,000 of the D'uchess of Montrose' and there must have been a similar number of these (there are detail variations, but they don't affect the value - or lack of it!)

He's says it's built from Airfix kit but it's not the same as the other Airfix ones - more like the other white metal one he has, presumably this one built with a large hot soldering iron?
