  • We rarely buy engines from eBay anymore due to the number of mis-described items that need fixing or returning. I low bid on locos fully expecting to be outbid, but sometimes that doesn't happen and it slips through. So here we are, an occasional series of videos where we open and test them "live" as they're delivered. Let's see how it goes.

    Looks a good little buy and great idea for a format. Id be tempted to give these episodes a standard snappy name format and number count, it might help flag them in peoples feeds. Cheers Shaun

      I've certainly considering a play list and a standardised naming scheme for these videos. Unfortunately, I'm no You Tube expert, so I'm still looking! Thanks for the comment

    I would be very happy with that for £21!

      I had no particular desire for one of these but am certainly happy with this. Thanks for watching

    I'm definitely going to try this. Place low bits on everything you kinda fancy but aren't too fussed about, expect to be outbid on everything and surely by the law of averages one or two will get through. Great tip.

    Hello, this tractor is a hobby model, the locomotive is a French model but painted with Renfe colours from the V-VI era, this model was used in starter kits and low-end models, but for many Roco has a great quality-price ratio. I own models in terms of operation it is a 10.
    Greetings, thanks for the video and your time.

      I didn't think it was a top end model but it runs like one. Thanks for the background info it's always nice to fill in the details. Thanks for watching too

    I do similar. Won a bid on a Flying Scotsman (R074). And a box of loco bodies that I'm now doing some weathering projects on. Currently got a bid on an 08 shunter I used to have as a kid, and of course now I'm back in the hobby I want in the collection again.

      Good thinking. When you get back to the hobby, you do want all your old stuff back even if it was a bit crap and the stuff you always wanted but could never afford. That explains the amount of Rivarossi and Fleischmann I've suddenly got!

      @fairweathertrains oh I've definitely got stuff I've always wanted back in the day but couldn't afford them then.

    21 pounds that's a gift unlike a certain Leader model that's turning into a horror show. I often buy spares or repairs I like the challenge plus get them at rock bottom prices.

      After my encounter with the GT3, I won't be dealing with KR Models locos again however good they look.

    Me again. My plan has backfired. I placed three low bids on stuff and bloody won two of them. I'd better pack up or I'll soon be skint lol

      You're supposed to be happy that you got 2 engines you quite like at a cheapo price!!! Told you it works sometimes too.
