Definitely a Locobox Darji.

Nice looking loco. Out of my price range.
I think that would be instant divorce after removal of testicles.
Did the Darj have any R/house bits on it?
Seems odd that someone that is obviously a dealer in railways would try and sell something without finding out a bit more about it.

Doesn´t look as though the dealer usually sells 16mm / G stuff much. His Ebay shop is more tailored towards OO etc, it seems to me. The loco is described once as RH and once as Accucraft, and he uses the "Expression" O gauge which is also a little confusing, even if the pics show a 32mm gauge loco.Big Jim:103831 wrote:Nice looking loco.

Very nice looking loco! Overpiced maybe though? I saw one at Anything narrow gauge for half the price before

They are asking twice what they cost new for a loco that looks as though it has seen quite a bit of use.

Definitely overpriced, but the item appears to have ended. I'm amazed if someone was willing to pay over £2000 for a Darj!

Well it said someone paid the full asking price, I wonder if they realised it was incorrectly named! Some people seem to be willing to pay anything if it says Roundhouse in front of it!laalratty:103862 wrote:Definitely overpriced, but the item appears to have ended.

That's a Peter Angus loco.kandnwlr:103938 wrote:Spotted a Darj Garratt on "Indian Hill" at Llanfair last weekend. I can´t tell whether it´s a Locobox or another type (Peter Angus ...). The missing switches on the rear seem to argue against Locobox, unless there was a manual version I don´t know about.
