Gerry's stuff quite often features in the Bargain Watch thread.

That's fair, I can see why. He'd be well to advertise on this forum too, I'm sure he'd have more customers that way.

Anyone know if this is genuine? Would be nice for the record society if it was.

It says "signed by..... W H Mills". But he wasn't involved, as I understand it, until the formation of the GNR in 1876. That's 20 years later than the thing is described as dating from. Something doesn't add up there, but I suspect it's an incorrect description rather than an indication that the drawings are fake.

It is also possible that Mills signed a copy of it at a later stage, but that the drawings are indeed dating back to 1856.

I've seen things with dates on them long after much of the contents were consigned to the history books. I've a GSR Appendix signed and dated up to 1985!

That seller's been offering the UTA Jinty's at that kind of price since Hatton's had them going cheap last year.

Looks like Dapol had a few O Gauge models the past year or two that didn't sell too well. The Jinty, the Terrier, the 14XX, and Rails sold some O Gauge wagons off really cheap a few weeks ago.

Good spot!   Pricey- but l've seen worse asking prices in recent times....

 

Agreed, some are advertised for silly money, but those two, if it's an Irish buyer, will also have tax charged, so it gets even sillier.

€60 is fair for a bus, and you can stretch that a bit, but €90 or €100 or €110 is insane.

And then tax on top!

😂😂😂😂

If it is an Irish buyer, depending on location, have a day out and pick them up. No Postage or tax and fees could make it worth it.

I once did a 250 mile round trip for 2 wall display cabinets, They were collection only. But that must have put others off as my £5 starting bid won.

Picture Pride but the ones I got were the dearer mirrored versions.

I bid on the Cavan & Leitrim Stephenson loco, the Tralee & Dingle Hunslet loco 3T, and the coaches just for the Tralee & Dingle coach and maybe the Clogher Valley coach.  (Colin R, Commerlad, or others among our 00n3 fraternity might want the IOM coaches.)   The CLR locomotive is something I've sought for years now, but have not been able to acquire, even in kit form.

Yes, I see he has corrected the gauge this time I do wonder how many people will still bid on these items thinking they are 009.

The only Items which appeal are the West Clare Bogie Deisel and the Donegal tram, coming up to retirement I have more than enough kits to be getting on with, to be honest.

That said I also like the IOMR 2-4-0 T if anyone is interested in that one please PM me and I won't bid against you.

Watching all, bar the French Billard, (Just not interested!) and the Worsley Walker loco and the CDR Railcar 6/7/8 (I have 3 of each of them!)

Another seller who does not know what he has.

(How/Why do you think the ex D.B.S.T listing got changed?)

Still putting them all as Backwoods, even though the lots include GEM (IOM Loco kit on Branchlines chassis). Worsley (Walker Loco and afore mentioned Railcar). Branchlines (Coaches), VM (Billard Railcar). Not going to bother telling him as he pulled the Ex D.B.S.T when I sent him a captioned photo and Worsley price list link.

Re the coaches, Anyone positively identify the 2 on the left in the picture of all 5? (Colours are throwing me off a little)

 

                                                                                    CVR Bogie 1st

                                                                                      Branchlines

 

                                                ?   ?   ?                                                                                T & D Bogie 3rd

Can;t say what yet but had an email from Nev yesterday,

"Things are moving with Backwoods so should be something to see at Mansfield, all the best, Nev"

So am looking forward to our show  "Narrow Gauge Now

(And I promise I will not be on the IOM this year)

Where is all this Isle of Man, Ratio, T&D and C&L stuff? Can't find a link?

And the ebay ad is all written in gobbledegook - I can't understand it....
