Title: Green Minitrix Ivatt 2-6-0
Post by: Cooper on September 15, 2015, 11:21:49 AM
I'm after a bit of help. I have 2 N Gauge locos to sell for the widow of a work colleague who passed away suddenly. The Farish DP1 is easy to price, but I have a Minitrix Ivatt 2-6-0 in Green and I have little idea what they sell for. I suspect it is a fair bit less than this listing:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MINITRIX-N-Scale-2038-RARE-GREEN-2-6-0-Ivatt-Tender-FABULOUS-Runner-MINT-BOXED-/181786165904 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MINITRIX-N-Scale-2038-RARE-GREEN-2-6-0-Ivatt-Tender-FABULOUS-Runner-MINT-BOXED-/181786165904)

I have no real experience of Steam outline models in N, let alone Minitrix. Any help would be gratefully received before I advertise it.

Here is a picture:  (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/gallery/17/thumb_29362.jpg) (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=29362)

I've test run it and it runs a treat, as I understand Minitrix always do!

These are rarer than the black versions, and therefore will command a better price, but with the release of the Farish 2MT I think this will be lower than in the past.

Something around £40 would seem reasonable - possibly as much as £50 on a good day with the wind behind it on ebay.

Cheers,
Alan

Thank you for the reply Dr Al. I'll put it on the N'porium around that mark then. :thumbsup:

I think that one should be on the E Bay madness thread. The one I had went to a member on here for an honest price and will hopefully see lots of future use!

That's why the ebay one is "on ebay" still as opposed to "sold on ebay"....!
