I wonder if the elf in the background comes with it? Certainly be useful for doing the wiring under the board!

hock: I think someone is living in cloud cookoo land. Take a nought of the end of the price, and I would consider it....

Why bother, for at starting price of £750 you could build a far bigger more extensive layout and for one get better stock than a 0-4-0 smokey joe!

I think there is more on offer than what is shown. The pics are only a taster.

However, the price tag will never be met, unless someone really is stupid! (like the person who bought a del-prada 373 in GNER for £52, thinking it was a CJM repaint on a Kato model).

The seller needs to understand the people he is selling to with this. £750 is way above a christmass present or birthday for a small boy, which the layout is designed for. No modeller is going to want a layout like that, even if they couldnt be bothered to make one themselves, they could still get far better for less.

people on ebay can be so over-optimistic.

Wheres the point, doesnt take a genius to see the potential in that.

(Quote - I have added a link so people can how much a pre built layout will cost you as it is not just the materials but also the time and creativity involved, please not the size of the set's compaired to this one.)

Must admit ........ placing a few plastic cows around and a couple of buildings takes a lot of time and creativity

He's trying to compare his efforts??? with something like this

And that's only priced at £241 new ..... no Smokey Joe engine included though

I suppose anything the seller can do to raise its overated value and suck it up. No one in the next two days will be crazy enough to pay...

 

[kettlefan]

theres an exhibition branch line layout going for....75

hmmmm

 

[mbonwick]

Notice that no-one has vet bidded for the £750

I wouldnt be surprised

 

[Demps]

both as bad as each other.

 

[nath9425]

The grass textures and the ballast are in absolutely appalling condition, But I can't talk mines gone yellow! And Tesco Extra has parked up on it! And there is no tarmac on mine for a car park And Ive spent around £500 on it

 

[westcoaster]

i have an idea? the lady indoors said "get rid of it" he says "ok dear" lets sell it for a price no one can afford and ill have to keep it? "hows the bidding going love", "not one person" i'll ave to keep it.

 

[Nathan]

What a shame, no bidders. Be interesting to see if the seller puts it up again, perhaps for a more reasonable price...
