Yeah, that's what's wrong here. I saw that on Facebook, what a plank. some poor sod is going to be wondering why everyone was raving about the 071. It looks very shoddy What’s worse is It might not be intentional. Judging by the reviews of the seller. It’s likely that he thinks it’s the same model selling for €300 Quote

Yeah, that's what's wrong here. And as we speak, the seller has changed the listing from murphy models to “scratch built?” As I suspected, didn’t even realise what he had Quote
murphaph Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 lol yeah I didn't really suspect he was trying to rip anyone off. Just hadn't a clue what he had on his hands. 2 Quote

Chris told me that somebody else here on the forum has recently ordered a four-car set, so maybe whoever that was can advise. Edited February 25, 2022 by DJ Dangerous 1 Quote

I picked up a few of them last year and the year before, all around the €60 mark. Beside a MM 201, they look rough, but whizzing around by themselves, they are grand. Sound like bags of spanners, though. 1 Quote
