Hi,

I found three Märklin 4905 kits from Ebay some time ago and
bought them 15€ each. They are all in mint condition and all small
parts in sealed plastic bags. Drool

I am not going to build them so they will be stored up.

Cheers

Åke

I have an unbuilt kit somewhere, I forget just which wagon it is, but the Kolls value is not too different to what I paid for it, and that was similar to what was paid for these kits.

So far my conclusion has been that there is no value in keeping them as kits. If I had bought the three I think I would build two of them, and keep one kit for sentimental value.

Similarly I have just bought a 0224 kit for my dining car. It is original from 1966 and I bought it to use rather than sit in the box.BigGrin

Hi all,

The reason why I am not going to build them is... because I already have so many 4505 wagons that there's no need for more of them LOL
