N Roco 24217: DB kl.1/2 express ‘Hecht’ coach, type AB4e-23a, Ep.III, boxed, EXC

 

A super example of a ‘Hecht’ composite passenger coach, type AB4e-23a, of the Deutsche Bahn, no.1229 Esn, made in Austria by Roco during the period 1984/85.  The ‘Hecht’ (“Pike”) coaches were so colloquially named because the body shape was similar to the head of a pike.  This particular class of Hecht coach was built for the DRG in 1924/25.  Roco’s model was originally catalogued as 2258, then renumbered to 24217 for 1984/85, then renumbered again, so the date of this example is fairly precise.  This n-gauge coach is supplied in its original case which also contains an unopened accessory pack with roof vents and corridor connector extenders, plus a transfer sheet.  The coach is in excellent condition.  The perspex case has some signs of shelf/storage wear.

VERY IMPORTANT  Please note that my P & P charges below include:
(i) Ebay’s charge to sellers of 10% commission on actual P&P charges
(ii) Royal Mail price list effective 25th March 2019.

Postage & Packing (approx package weight 240g)

UK – 3.75  (Small Parcel Second Class)
Europe – 6 (International Standard)

      ****** PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE YOU BID or BUY ******

The above service offers a level of 20 maximum compensation without tracking.  I provide excellent, secure packaging using in this instance recycled plus some new packing materials, with printed address and return labels.  And if payment is received by 9.00am on a working day, I post 95% of Royal Mail parcels that same day (courier services usually collect the following working day) , and send you a personal message confirming the item has been posted .  This is a FIVE STAR service !   If you want greater speed and/or security (at greater cost) select the ‘Signed-For’ postal option OR contact me for other delivery options BEFORE paying.  

I am happy to combine items to save my time and your postage costs, where this is possible.  It is NOT possible where (i) it will result in a package for posting overseas which weighs in excess of 2 kg (ii) the very nature of the items (shape/weight/fragility) being combined renders combined packaging impractical.  If in doubt, check with me before you bid on/pay for different items.  If you wish to purchase more than one item, it is essential that you ask me for/wait for a combined invoice (by adding items to the ebay shopping basket and, once you’ve selected all your chosen items, clicking on the ‘request total from seller’ link).  Otherwise, because of the way ebay will apply 10% commission fees to P&P charges, combined postage is likely to generate lower savings than would otherwise have been the case. 

Please contact me if, having bought an item/won an auction, you want to delay payment with a view to bidding on another of my items with a later end-date.  I issue invoices for multiple purchases if I know you have finished bidding – if you require an invoice for a single purchase please let me know. 

Finally, payment must be made in GBP.  Personal cheques and postal orders are welcome from UK buyers only (please allow time for your cheque to clear).  If collecting in person, cash is the expected and preferred method of payment.   Regrettably overseas buyers must pay via Paypal, no other options are available.
