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:

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.

Should anyone on here succeed in "winning" this item, I'd be happy to suggest a name:

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.

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.

Just Wow, no, at the price, but then let us be honest, we have all paid, at least once, over the odds on ebay.

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.

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