Warbonnet Posted September 16, 2014 Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveController Posted September 17, 2014 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveController Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 This sold pretty cheaply for a 111. Hope one of you got a deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiveController Posted September 24, 2014 Share 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiveController Posted October 6, 2014 Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenderg Posted October 6, 2014 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsetan Posted October 25, 2014 Share 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.

Mayner Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Possibly commissioned by Metrovick as a boardroom ornament for CIE or for publicity purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minister_for_hardship Posted November 7, 2014 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minister_for_hardship Posted November 7, 2014 Share 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 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
