Regner tipper

[Jasper]

The tipper wagon (art. 25438) by Regner looks quite good. But it seems expensive at €225. Does anyone have one? And is it worth the money?

Just Discovered They are Doing A Koppel Skip From Your Post, €225 is Ludicrously expensive for a single small Wagon!. If your Looking For a Cheaper Alternative I Make 3D Printed Braked And Unbraked Skips in 7/8ths Scale. 7/8ths Scale Koppel Style Skip Wagon

No longer in production but if you can find some of the HLW hopper kits, they are as cheap as chips....

Unfortunately postage might be an issue, but just in case email Kevin and enquire. [Pre-Loved | Pamak Hobbies]

If you can afford to spend the cost of a cheap loco on a skip wagon probably, but unless it's made of gold, for us mortals, no. Binnie do 16mm ones for less than £15

I know its a bit off topic, so apologies. Howsabout getting a 3D printer and bodge your own? It could be a whole new world!
I think these cost about a couple of quid, if that, including the Binnie wheelsets.
Theyre a bit rusty as some of the sewage they carry is.....er....sloppy.
Stand back a bit and squint, they look just fine.

Thanks for all the suggestions and links.

Heck, now I'm wondering if the €225 is a misprint.

The obvious answer is to contact Regner and just ask, but the idea of doing so scares me a little....

if the €225 is a misprint.

I don't think so. I recall being amazed at the price a year or so ago.

I recall being amazed at the price

I'm still looking for someone who's amazed at the model.

I found 3 mfg's of tipper cars, unfortunately HLW and Playmobil no longer make these.

Playmobil 4112 - Tipper Car, these had 2 tipper bins.
LGB also made single bin tipper cars in red and in light grey.

The PM 4112 can command some silly prices on Ebay, I got mine sub £30 and was upset at what it cost. Of course these days it would get less money due to the revisions I have made to it and all my PM wagons. Link shows PM thread and includes my mods Post#1.

So You Think Playmobil Is Toylike And Not Worthy Of A Place On Your Line?

So I am being a bit contraversial with that heading and totally disagree with it. But I wanted to get some attention for Trains and other things that have a place on your line. Plus for beginners hopefully a bit of inspiration. But first some good points about Playmobil:- - Couplings are LGB...
