Typical of 'gostude' of 'gosturd' as he sometimes gets refered to over on RMweb. (see ebay madness section on that site)

 

Description says ' Condition:

New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item. Photo shows item out of box, so how is that 'unopened'?

One technicality regarding these vinyl overlays, is that the toilet windows on the overlays do not match the toilet windows on the Airfix/Dapol Mk 2Ds. This is due to Irish Rail aircon coaches always being referred to as Mk 2Ds, when, in fact they are actually Mk 2Fs, which is what the overlays are. The main difference between a Mk 2D and a Mk 2F 2nd class coach, is that the 2D toilets are both on the same side, whereas the 2F toilets are on opposite corners, exactly like the real IR coaches, and these vinyl overlays.

I think the Irish Aircon's are actually closer to the MK2 E's where the toilets are on opposite sides.. The roof hatches on the MK2 F's are larger than the C-D-E coaches.

 

Rich,

£10 postage, = over €14

Last loco I posted ( an 071) cost €8.50

I really hate rip off postage

In his other listings he has "rare" items, some of which are still available from SILVERFOX!!!

I'm sure the quality is good, but for that price and esp. in O gauge, you would at least want motion that looks less toy-like.

 

Basset Lowke models aren't known for their fine detailing - the 'look' of their products hasn't really changed much in over a hundred years - but they have a loyal legion of collectors.
