But it's boxed, and has no damages!
Sounds like a bargain.

Agree Tom...Over £100 with postage and it's not the original box...It's a plain white one.....

Why do people pick out of the sky silly prices....It's not good for those of us who are on limited budgets.
And then everyone else also start asking silly prices.

Have you seen the prices of the second hand stuff on there......

Actually that probably is its original box, as not all BMS stock comes in the coloured boxes. I purchased a R19-24D – W & L SHEEP WAGON BAUXITE, DATA ONLY direct from Accucraft at a Llanfair C show, a R19-9B – L& B BOGIE GOODS VAN – DATA ONLY from an Accucraft dealer, and a R19-24G IoM ‘E’ Van, Green & Cream from a different Accucraft dealer. You've guessed it - they all came in plain white boxes with the appropriate BMS stock sticker on an end panel.

He's on cloud 9,10,11,12...You get my drift...It's that kind of pricing that is putting me off 16mm at the moment...

This is not an inexpensive hobby. It's getting more and more expensive I am afraid. We all don't have bottomless pockets, but even if I did, that is ridicules. And the weathering is awful.......... :( :(

Even the postage rate is ridiculous - at least to my mind.

The loco is just a mess and needs a proper paint job..... price reduction for that I think!
The postage is probably about right, particularly if it includes insurance.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

Postage is probably fine, I think I paid around £26 to post a Wrightscale Wren a few years ago insured up to £2000.
Thanks

Postage is ok. That's about what I would have needed to pay to send a loco to other member.

OK chaps I was wrong. I've had a look at a couple of carriers and as you all say it is about the right priceI, teach me to check things before opening big mouth! I still think the postage is a lot of money though but perhaps I've got used to buying a lot on line where often the postage is free.

Hmmm... I'm almost tempted... I'm saving for a Lilla, and this is a decent price, BUT I'd need to do a full repaint to fit in with my line. And, although the current colour scheme's not to my taste, it would be a shame to slop an amateur paint job over the top of a professional one! I'll keep saving... Unless the price drops any further!

Yes, I did think that... Although Chris B's film shows one running very nicely without: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_YYMzI0r98

I need to get back on eBay, but selling rather than buying! My loco fund is a long way from the stage where I can place an order! I fancy one in green, that I can eventually line out to represent the lovely Cilgwyn Quarry livery the real thing's carried recently...

Cheers,

Andrew.

This is a rare opportunity, must be a real tiddler as it's the 7mm O gauge version [ not Narrow gauge of course ] but one straight out of the Archangel brochure,
needs a replacement dome but otherwise looks in good condition.
remember if you bid on this it will double in price by the time you've paid postage, customs duty and VAT....

Old style cylinders, faulty pressure gauge and obsolete R/C - surely under £1000 is a realistic price?

Year of manufacture 2017...
