Re: eBay madness
Given the more sensible price the one in the link below went for I don't see how the one I mentioned in my previous post can be worth the starting bid:

Re: eBay madness
No it's not and would probably just make that if the starting price was more reasonable, the trouble with these lady Anne's is that there are a lot of them and always the first to cast off when somebody wants to move on to something more exciting or has some resemblance to a real loco.

Re: eBay madness
Should anyone on here succeed in "winning" this item, I'd be happy to suggest a name:tom_tom_go wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2019 8:56 pm Another winning description:
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 3795236830
Plenty of people seem interested, potentially a cheap way to acquire some RH running gear - and boiler? They surely can't be inspired by the poor thing's looks??
Cheers,
Andrew.

Re: eBay madness
Not madness, a nice looking Regner Willi. If I hadn't recently managed to pick up a Wilma I'd be tempted.

Edit: Sold within 12 hours of listing, well that a great temptation removed.

They're "rare", I don't think you can put a price on heritage.

Re: eBay madness
Well someone likes them..... there is a bid!
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?
Re: eBay madness
Just Wow, no, at the price, but then let us be honest, we have all paid, at least once, over the odds on ebay.
Re: eBay madness
We all sure have.....
It's very easy to get carried away sometimes....Though Anne try's to keep me in check.

Well not only did somebody bid on them, someone else sniped them with 13 seconds on the clock!

Re: eBay madness
Yes that is bonkers, If you wanted one they do crop up for about 2K, there's something quite clunky and wrong with Roundhouse's version but can't put my finger on what it is.

Re: eBay madness
Especially as a Roundhouse R/C Leek & Manifold loco which uses a similar chassis can be purchased second hand for under £2000!
