Dapol have done this one as a two pack with a Samskip also, hazzy fuzzy printing but the tooling is more representative of a modern LEG1 than the Bachmann 13.6m tooling 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Dangerous Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 For the British outline O Gaugers, Rails of Sheffield have some Class 31's and Class 60's at very low prices. Are there known issues with these locos or something? Would love to buy a Class 31 and stick a Shapeways 141 body onto it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adverts is a bit weird in that you can’t message the person unless you put in an offer.. If they set the minimum offer to €150 then you have to offer them €150 to even PM them! I wouldn’t ever take an adverts offer as binding till you speak to the person for that reason Edited May 20, 2023 by MOGUL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit sus as they were a way to verify what sort of seller you were dealing with. Adverts.ie told me that it was to do with advertising clicks on ads that weren't live.

It is cheap, but for a reason. Many of the coaches have had bits falling off. By no means a deal breaker, but buyers may need to do some work to make them presentable.

Same caveat for the A3 and A4 locos According to the HM video in my previous post, the teaks don't suffer any of the faults in the previous two liveries. Hatton's have the ones from the dodgy batches marked very clearly. The only complaint that the HM guys had was that they left the coaches out in the sun and one started melting. Still, at two thirds off, even if a few bits fall off, it's like a 99% completed kit for less than Murphy Models OO Gauge coaches go for.

The original box and packaging serves three purposes for those running trains. Firstly, it alludes to the authenticity of the model. Secondly, should somebody (as you yourself did) need to pack the trains away for whatever reason, it protects them from damage and dust. Third, should life and circumstances change and selling up becomes a necessity, you have the original packaging to use for transport, and to verify to the next owner that the model is authentic.

Eg the MM 121 packaging was like a puzzle and if you didn’t get it right you could rip one of the horns off and the cab gard rails. The card board packaging used by Hornby Dublo, then TriAng and Wrenn were much more user friendly for reuse. Then these stupid clear plastic sandwiches became vogue some years ago, they can cause more damage than protection, never mind the sheer waste of materials. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only two bad ones that I can think of offhand are the 121 and 201 packaging. 121 packaging was a disaster, and if I recall correctly, wasn't even the packaging that Paddy had agreed upon. Still, that was easily resolved by wedging some cardboard between the cardboard and the foam, just above the loco's bonnet. Snug as a bug in a rug after that. The 201's were ripping through the white plastic and then bouncing around inside the cardboard box. Still, I would much rather have the original packaging than not, but missing packaging wouldn't be a deal breaker for something I really want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
