Put the glasses on please

Spotted on Trademe a couple of days ago.
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Toys-models/Models/Railway/Locomotives/auction-207594690.htm
One of the last of the trackside models 88 set rail cars (see, not a mention of a Fiat anywhere. bugger stuffed it up), which is probably technically correct since the name of the range will probably change.

Whats worse is the set of questions asked, which show a horrible lack of knowledge, or a complete incapacity to read.

What scale railway is this for, please?
nz12o 1:120

hi ,, ?? what scale is this , 1/64.... etc ..
nz12o 1:120

What brand of kit is it and what scale thanks.
nz12o 1:120 track side kit from Pat.

we run NZR HO S gauge ,, ? is 120 compatable in sizeing.
no sorry runs n scale track 1:120.

I congratulate the seller for his patience, mine would have run out at number 2!

Those "questions" raise further questions regarding the state of the scale and it's advertising/public awareness. Just shows the need for NZ120layouts/modules to be seen at shows.

Sorry, my patience would have run out at the first question on that auction.
