Guest Mikado Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I have to say, I've bought some bits and pieces from him a good few times now. He even dug out some wheelsets I'm struggling to find, nothing was too much trouble. No connection other than a satisfied repeat customer. I would've given up and binned it by now myself though! I too have had dealings with this chap, he is a decent guy and does not deserve the petty sniping he gets on here. If you do not like what he does and how he does try ignoring him!

Il Grifone Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Has anyone on here ever seen a prototype loco with "Scrap" written on it? I've never seen one - stored and filthy - yes and rolling stock, with "Cond" - yes. The enormous quantities of limescale, so beloved of the weathering brigade, seem to have escaped my recollections too (Small leaks maybe). I don't think most steam locos had time to get rusty, they were scrapped too quickly (indecent haste...). They had to have been in Barry for years...... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted March 31, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 31, 2013 Oh I don't know, dunk the Mk2d and the GUV in some modelstrip and give them a fresh coat of paint (and scrap the 'thing' that was supposed to be a postal van) and you might just be able to resussitate the patients.

Il Grifone Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Anyone want a Dublo 4MT tank? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-DUBLO-EDL18-BR-2-6-4-CLASS-4MT-TANK-LOCO-80054-NEW-BOXED-mv-/370690310942?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item564edd431e Gostude seems to have reached new heights with this one! Granted she's as described (apart from a little paint scuffing along the tank top - most have this) but £495! This is the rare version at a more realistic (for collector's!) price. (As can be seen, uninsulated nickel wheels and a badly applied (normal) number transfer make all the difference.....) Note the original price on the box £3/18/-. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-DUBLO-3218-BR-2-6-4-TANK-LOCOMOTIVE-80059-BOXED-3-RAIL-/321096297947?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item4ac2d4addb Edited April 1, 2013 by Il Grifone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, but is it worth the effort, even at £6 + £3? Stripping rarely removes all the paint without hassle and then they'll need repainting, relettering and replacement of the missing bits. The Tri-ang Hornby Mailvan is only of interest to collectors (who wouldn't want junk like this in any case) and none of the items are hard to find anyway.
