MrWolf Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Okay, just to let you have first dibs, I can get you this one locally for a bargain £5000. It's still got some bauxite paint on it here and there.

RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted May 12, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) This made me chuckle. I think the asking price at the time the offer came in was £400. Still not interested as it's £250 from Ace (I think it's the same kit) and I have one anyway. edit: someone has bought it. Glad cos I was tempted to put in a cheeky offer!

RMweb Premium TinTracks Posted May 12, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 12, 2023 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266247797039 Here's a nice lot for you. Let's ignore the fact that it's a large lot of Triang and , apart from a few wagons, not Dublo. Reading the description the lot includes ''the operating stick''?????. Presumably this is the piece of equipment essential for getting those old princesses to move along. I won't express my opinion on the starting or BIN price. 😉 Regards.

Rich Not as bad as it looks price wise. Starting bid is probably top-end of price range, but not totally insane. It's got most of a Battlespace set in there (missile, copter + ambulance + 31) plus the other bits including 4 locos (sure, at least 2 are ropey) Edited May 12, 2023 by leezer3 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Lots of stuff, much in very poor condition. Of course, with the Triang and Dublo stock, the perennial problem looms large. The Titfield Thunderbolt got it spot on. "she won't couple!" Even better, one of the Triang Princess tenders won't couple (reasonably speaking) with the rest of the Triang stuff. Its got a Rovex hook coupling... As they say, speak softly and carry a big (operating) stick! 1 hour ago, leezer3 said: It's got most of a Battlespace set in there (missile, copter + ambulance + 31) plus the other bits including 4 locos (sure, at least 2 are ropey) All the items are a bit ropey, and only one has a box, which appears to be a major selling point nowadays. There are also a fair number of missing buffers. One of the Princesses is an early one with plunger pickups (and would go with the Rovex coupling tender), but it looks to be in very poor condition, rusty and dirty. It may well have plastic wheels! 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
