spudfan Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 No returns accepted. Doubt any returns could be envisioned owing to the charges involved. Sound comes as factory fitted ...unfortunately. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broithe Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Site rules do require you to state a price. Obviously, you'll have to greatly inflate that, in case she sees it, but we'll assume that you'll accept reasonable offers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the high-maintenance ones are actually easier to off-load, if you want to trade on in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new chassis and couplings could be fitted, and the whole thing clad in a new livery. Donald, for example, has accurate IE tan, though I'd be worried about where the Tippex stripes are. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 These models tend to be challenging. They require a great deal of maintenance and can be unpredictable. Running is often pretty smooth, but can also be off and on, rough and breakdowns are inevitable. It is always advisable to keep them well oiled. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
