Warbonnet Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Some components look a little tank engine like to me... That chimney and dome dont look like they belong to the rest of that kit at least!
DiveController Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Very interesting minister. I posted this in case it was of interest to any of the collectors on the site. I do not have any proficiency in determining whether this is genuine. I will leave that to you guys:D
DiveController Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 This sold pretty cheaply for a 111. Hope one of you got a deal!

DiveController Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Yes, I think it is but it depends on who wants one and how soon. This is not the worst I've seen and they're becoming more scarce, I think. If it's mint it not that bad unless you're a collector ,I guess. Technically all the mint locos sold on here are secondhand too...
DiveController Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Which would be why it's relisted at £5 less http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm?itemId=261608801119 Edited September 29, 2014 by DiveController

WRENNEIRE Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 If it was unmade I might take a punt, kinda love unmade kits
Kirley Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 If it was unmade I might take a punt, kinda love unmade kits But remember it's MTK and that can be a leap into the unknown.
DiveController Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 But remember it's MTK and that can be a leap into the unknown. They're poor kits, difficult to assemble or just that it's part made?
Glenderg Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Given one of Model railways' urban myths is that at Colin Massingham's funeral the lid didnt fit on the coffin its a fair bet that the kit is a pile of "merde" as they say across the channel. He made the MTK stuff.

Noel Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 A bit daft alright. A less popular GM loco in the most hideous loco livery CIE/IEs marketing dept ever dreamt up, and on a lima chassis. Just about to eat my porridge now.

Railer Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Listed as an experienced seller................yeah 10 years too late maybe=))
BosKonay Posted October 25, 2014 Author Posted October 25, 2014 €354 plus €27 p&p - wow, someone should tell the seller it's not 2009 any more
Horsetan Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) LOL. eBay rubbish is always amusing! "Gosturde" (his real name is Greg Diffen, he originates from Australia, and he owns and runs a big collection of American Studebaker cars) is infamous for the hilariously unrealistic price tags that he places on almost all of his stock. There's some real sh*te that he's been demanding over top dollar for - hence he's been stuck with them for years. See also "micmcn" of Cartmel, whose asking prices are also unreal.

BosKonay Posted November 6, 2014 Author Posted November 6, 2014 Anyone know the history of the model? Lovely looking piece

Mayner Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Possibly commissioned by Metrovick as a boardroom ornament for CIE or for publicity purposes.
minister_for_hardship Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 There was a silver A class in a glass case in NRM York last time I was there and a WAGR X class with some paint damage and bits missing popped up on ebay some time ago. All on presentation plinths and think they were same scale and all.
minister_for_hardship Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Possibly commissioned by Metrovick as a boardroom ornament for CIE or for publicity purposes. Commissioned by AEI (holding company for MetroVick, the MetroVick brand ceased to exist in 1960), most likely to show off their portfolio to potential clients?
Weshty Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Is this the same A class that sold on ebay about 2 years ago? It was right beside my stand in Cultra in 2012. Fabulous looking beast. The detail was amazing.

Fabulous looking beast. The detail was amazing. A birdie informed me that a presentation A class was purchased in the uk and brought back here, whether it was the NRM one I was looking at that was sold off surplus to requirements or a duplicate I don't know.

The detail was amazing. This one is a C class, Weshty... Didn't that A class turn up on the IRRS stand at some of the exhibitions, too? Or is that a different model?
