'CHARD Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) And Courtrade, 'pro' weathered by no stretch of the imagination. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bachmann-20-Ton-Brake-Van-BR-Bauxite-Pro-Weathered-37-537-Boxed-VGC-/300697782909?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item4602fc0a7d I shall resist the urge to drill down into the various interpretations of 'pro-weathered' at this juncture. EDIT: sorry, can't resist these words from the description:" in very good condition or as new" - which assumes that Bachmann smear filth on all new product as part of he QC sign-off process.

China clay wagons used to end up all white, but a van? And a special prize for random apostrophes - "all coupling's and buffers are intact". What gets me is that people think that poor weathering adds value, instead of subtracting it. These should be sold for a few pounds each, due to having been wrecked by the previous owner. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted December 30, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 30, 2012 Not least because the better Formoway ads showed real trackage - was it Gatwick Airport? I'm fairly sure that it was - mind you I always thought that Formoway looked a lot better than Peco Streamline, apart from the whopping great dead 'frog'.

MarkC Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 ""Looking closely at this model I can see two hairline cracks in the window frame just below the roof at both ends of the locomotive. This is a common feature of these locomotives and does not detract from the model." And an opening bid of £1250 My flabber is truly gasted at this one...

Il Grifone Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) Apparently they've sold for even more! http://www.modelrailforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12044 Rare - 1. because it's in experimental blue and 2. Has the wrong number D5501 (from the green version) rather than the correct D5578. IMHO cracks, hairline or otherwise, seriously "detract from the model" and the fluff around the axles suggests that it's been run on a carpet at some time, not that it's difficult to eliminate. The oil has been opened at some time. Prototypically, surely a diesel in experimental blue should not have a right facing lion? but then it is Tri-ang. The 00 version is not worth nearly as much, but then this has the correct number (and is lot tattier) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-BR-Experimental-Blue-Class-31-Unboxed-/330820565428?nma=true&si=WoldnZn1T8OfErTvmGA39mibmr8=&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Two possibilities for the polished brass: original - this is a late model in the range and could have escaped the blackening process or (unlikely seeing the condition) a previous owner has carefully polished it off.
