Was going to watch the video but noticed it was Sam so declined.

Do seem a bit pricey but what isn’t today.

You need to grit your teeth and watch the video!

I watched him "unbox" an O gauge Class 05 diesel shortly after I had "unboxed" mine. What a joke, unbelievable. :D

I gritted my teeth and watched the first few minutes :( Usual moan about everything. I thought the price reasonable with the Club discount. Nice packaging, neat looking wagons would look pretty good behind a Rocket.
I made a huge to do list for today. I just can't figure out who's going to do it! :lol:

I would not recommend anybody basing purchase advice on him.

OK darkscot I took the plunge. Well as far as opening the box then just gave up the will to live.

It thought the packaging was rather nice.

Well maybe it is just me? But I think trying to charge £84.99 for something as outstandingly bad as those wagons is a joke.

It is a lot of money but I’m afraid that’s the way of the world at the moment.

My thoughts about the price of model railway products is that if we think a model is expensive, don’t buy it, it’s just a hobby, not owning it will make no difference to our lives.

There are lots of O gauge locos I would love to own but never will, unless I win the lottery.


Who says the wagons are bad?
