Prairie Tank 5102 for sale at Antique Steam.

[dscott]

I came across this model several months ago and did an enquiry? Lots of money then with a promiseb of being finished and painted.
OOps such a bad finish even from the small photos...part finishing and preparation for painting are everything!!! This is why I never get anything finished. Did get to paint inside the House where Frankenstein was written, lovely grade 1 cottage in my last job!!!

David, take all that the chap ftom AS says eith a very very big pinch of salt.hes a total con man

I have a look at these sites for some, sometimes good photos of finished locomotives, and occasionally some do stand out.
I prefer Station Road Steam who has an excellent archive where he is not selling but provides a good service. In fact I looked through all the Speedys last month and all the Prairies the month before getting ideas for the rear bunker shaping tools that I am working on.
I need so many for various locomotives!!!

---------------------- His favourite E-Bay trick is to post a main photo of a completed loco ( with lots of red paint everywhere) with a price tag of say £1,000------- What is actually for sale is a rolling chassis with some platework, part finished boiler etc.........ie}--NOT what the photo depicts....He purports to have been a Diesel Driver based on Tysley yet when I was chatting to him one time he couldn't tell the basic difference between English Electric's Classes 37 and 40........................................ie LENGTH!!!!!......................------------------------------

I tried to complained to ebay about a similar 'misleading'photo, but found no listed reason to be able to complain. So I think it must be ok to show a completed loco, but only sell unfinished bits.
I have a small bag of rusty rivits that I think may be suitable for a 7 1/4" flying Scotsman, with a good photo of the real FS, I think I will start my auction off about £2500. Oh, and they have never been steamed, and I live in the extremities of GB and im off fishing in the Atlantic till just after the auction finishes.
JUST AVOID THE OBVIOUS SCAMMERSin whatever form, cos, some we know!

Alan.we would know a lot more about scammers if this forum allowed us to speak up about them. Michael

Now come on you all should know by now that in our modern world we can not criticise anyone especially in higher standing.
You get a bad teacher your child struggles any complaint just lands you in trouble!!
You find a scammer on the internet a complaint gets your site removed!!
You get let down by a building company you paid, they change their name!!
You have a problem with a bank concerning an ill wife, they will not listen they just want the money.
DittO with a certain mObile phOne cOmpany the Only way Out Of the cOntract is pay!!!

On the AS site he is claiming that a new build Foster traction engine is to the drawings from MJ eng. MJ don't do drawings for any Foster engine but LSM at Derby do. Yet more bull as the LSM foster is known to have a lot of errors in the drawings so let's make out that it is from elsewhere.

The chap is a total fraudster.people should have nothing to do with this toe rag.
