I can't even comment on that without falling foul of the profanity filter.

 

You've definitely won the day!

With any luck, five seconds, just like Mission impossible.

The secretary will disavow that you ever made illuminated tat and stuck it on eBay for £60...

Contact name not matching when you enter the ‘other items’ list, further random pricing (this is pretty special: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394394053205?), all pointing towards the inevitable, I’m afraid.

 

I wouldn’t go near this one.

Can be had from Amazon for £41! Is this what happens when mountainbikers sell art supplies?

Even the 47' is having an identity crisis is it Prince Henry or Harry ... the people need to know before we go spare

 

Easy, if it was Prince Harry it would have melted.

I really don’t think that this is a mountain biker, given the random assortment of crazily overpriced and random stuff under their name, none of which is a mountain bike. Googling the business name supplied provides a major clue; it’s unowned and you can buy that too. Strikes me that this is a total chancer in an industrial unit in Manchester just trying it on.

A laundry operation perchance???

We have had 'L@@K' and of course 'RARE' but now we have ... Wow!

Wow as in wow what a pile of junk....

What is one supposed to do with these? Presumably all the chassis had been sold off already.

'No wheels on my locos, they're not rolling along, ...'.

What is the difference between the UK and Aus boiler certification testing?

 

 

I'm not sure exactly, except that the Australian boiler code is stricter and not just the testing. The advice is that if purchasing from overseas (not just the UK), make sure it is built with a conforming boiler and has the proper documentation.

 

If you want to find out, here's a starting point.

I love the seamless melding of the ‘wow’, repeated as well, in this description:

Is he a bit shy? Not wanting to attract too much attention to this outrageous bargain? 🤣

I've been having an 'interesting' email discussion

with the seller of this item over what I see as

a discrepancy between the title and picture.

 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304763370068

 

Is this an N15???

 

N was the LNER id letter for locos with an 0-6-2 wheel arrangement.  Googling LNER N15 comes up with the NBR Reid class A loco which became the N14/15 classes of the LNER.  From the photos on Google it "looks" like an N15.

Looks like I'll have to eat humble pie

and apologise to the seller then.  :)

 

I was confusing the pic with a SR M7.
