Peter Miller Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 This is "reasonable condition." I wonder what he classes as "Unreasonable condition"? **LINK** If you look at his other items many of them are "Metal detector finds" That explains it!!!!!

And she won't be able to have a go at him until she joins him on the other side. So why worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Perhaps Jon could tell us how to spot the fake Lasers? I recall the advert for Flyte in RCME and I wonder whether a Flyte might actuially be more valuable to a collector than a genuine Laser! Rarer.....

KC, in essence they just dont look as well finished. The fins on the front of the head are an abomination, the brass pushrod tubes... They also lack the Laser name on the rocker cover although this could be fudged if someone swapped the cover from a genuine engine. If in doubt, send me a link/photo and i can id it.

Hi Jon, Well I have learnt something there! I did not know that was not a laser. Not at first glance, but then I noticed no name, no laser on it. I still thought maybe it was a prototype. I have never heard of Flyte? But does that mean that could be a rare engine. Also - Fake? Surely just a different Manufacturer? But I guess everyone means the advert was fake as it wasnt a Laser? But reading it, sounds like a chap lumbered with shifting engines for a deceased pal. TBH at first glance if he'd asked me what it was I might have said its a Laser. Looks like he's sold it? as the listing is removed. Do you still have any Laser Diesels knocking around? I did hear from someone that you had thought of making the Laser Diesel again. Not sure how many were made? or if that's true. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon H Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Hi Steve They were fake in the same way you get a fake rolex. Someone bought one, took it apart and then copied it. In this case, they copied it really badly but in they did at least put their own name on some of them. I suspect the guy selling was none the wiser so cant fault him really. As for the diesels i would like to do more, but i ran out of the new old stock i was using to build them and the boss is disinterested in making more parts which is annoying as i was really starting to get somewhere with making them work better. As for the number made...dont know, 50? perhaps 100? Not many that is for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
