plarailfan Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Bearing in mind Mallard weighs around 126 tons, and this five axle, ERF artic, would (legally) carry less than 30 tons, there's a massive overload problem here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221122691662?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648 more to the point, It doesn't quite look right anyway !

ozzyo Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) It's this one http://www.ebay.co.u...=item53eea9a58e which is a real wind-up! Geoff Endacott Something looks wrong about this one, like the mark 3? tension lock couplings on something from the 1950s! along with the insulated wheels as well and Hornby key?

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted September 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 13, 2012 It isn't even in a collectable condition.

Cleefy Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 A little overpriced me thinks. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item43b37a5b1b Aww, it is cute, but as you point out, not £100 worth of cute. In much the same way that this isn't £125 worth of cute, either. And as usual the description is enough to make your urine simmer.... "Perfect in all respects" - yeah, apart from the scratched number and lining. "Test run only" - must have been one hell of a test run looking at the marks on the wheels. Who did it, James May? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted September 15, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 15, 2012 This gets my goat - lazy and incompetent advertising, in this case by a seller with more than 1700 sales. And why would it be OO? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kato-American-Loco-DCC-on-Board-/251148833692?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3a79a3139c Yes, it's a foreign model - but it took one v quick Google on Erie-Lackawanna 2409 to find this page, and there it is in this livery about the 5th pic down. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/Locopicture.aspx?id=148044 Anything made by Kato is top quality, so this is worth quite a bit if properly advertised to the right audience.
