Taking a slight liberty... Cryin' To Be Heard - Traffic.

Quite a change from the normal cheesy pop to something quite moving, and marginally less depressing than the original!
-
The fact that it IS still possible to pick up a bargain on eBay (I've recently picked up a near mint Bachmann 4MTT for £37, a Bachmann Mk1 SK which needed 2 minutes' worth of work for £8.50, and a mint Hornby 08 for £41, amongst others) makes these all the more worrying! We've all paid over the odds once in a while in the excitement of wanting something quickly, but it appears patience really is the key!

Living in Leicester, it still looks spot on! -
Nice of him to clarify!

The bus on the bridge makes it look a bit like a model layout! -

I do like the weathering on that duff! In fact, it's so realistic, I've added it to my reference photos -
Now you realise, that you've got to get out of here

Those are the ones in the photo... Not sure on exact dimensions but I'd guess something around 8'-9' from the ground (note the fireman in the photo sitting down, no standing room on the footplate!), the Hornby model is MASSIVE in comparison!
-
The size of the prototype http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2453/3915317983_bbded26e87.jpg (Yes, that's a standard brake van on the far left, to give an idea of scale!)... Maybe Hornby forgot to carry a 1 somewhere when doing the measurements?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150591064282&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_2509wt_1141 Nicely done, I admit, but £60 odd for a Bill/Ben?! Might have to do a few of them myself!

Last week was a free listing weekend on eBay, so I'd wager there are some daft 'buy it now' prices on there at the moment from those taking a chance!
-
Could it be that, being a recognised seller, people see it as a compromise between paying extra to buy from a shop, and getting a 'bargain' on ebay? Well ok, that doesn't explain some of the daft prices, but it would explain why you could expect their stuff to sell for £5-£10 more than other ebay listings? I know I'd have more faith buying from them than someone with a feedback rating of 3 and a barely understandable grasp of English!

It certainly does!

I hate myself for loving you - Joan Jett.

"would be found on any line at nearly any time in the modelled steam era. Whatever your layout, this hard-working loco will fit right in". I hope the owners of all those ECML based layouts are watching the auction closely!

Northern Birds - Amateur Transplants. ... It'll be on youtube somewhere if you really must!
-
I love that one, atmosphere like no other! Nice 70s effect (or I like to think so) gained using cheap film (in date but I saw it for £1 per roll and knew it'd be "interesting" to say the least!). Mid 70s open day at the local colliery? And you can't beat a bit of dereliction for an 'arty' shot! (Sorry about the image sizes, not sure how to resize them on here?).

Blue Feeling - The Animals.
-
Black night - Deep purple.
-
Creep - The Pretenders... Fine, it's a cover of the Radiohead version, if you really must!
-
It's when he gets to the post office and they ask if it's worth more than £40... "Well.... Probably not, but it is to someone out there..."

LNER pacifics do nothing for me, but that has atmosphere by the bucket load!
