The problem with Nottingham and Derby is that they are in the wrong place. If they were moved much further south, travellers could get to London much more quickly without the need to build HS2.

This is a travesty on so many levels: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/scrapyard-deltic-diesel-loco-heavily-weathered-/290845887676?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item43b7c40cbc .
As no Deltics were scrapped in green livery, is this what they expect to happen to one of the preserved ones?

At least all buffers and couplings are present and the running numbers are intact: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OO-GAUGE-TRIANG-WEATHERED-CLASS-31-DIESEL-NON-RUNNER-/370736469101?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item56519d946d

You can get two here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/C157-LOWTHER-10-NOTES-FIRST-LAST-LA80-AA01-/140748267227?pt=UK_Coins_Banknotes_GL&hash=item20c5401edb for £110 including postage - and the price has been reduced!
Geoff Endacott
What! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370722173120?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 .
Weathering can certainly add to the price. With postage that's nearly £34 for a Bachmann van. Where's my airbrush?

For that sort of money I would expect the correct identity for that body style. D98 is a split-box Peak - this supposed model of it isn't.

I have seen a picture of that being done but can't remember where I saw the photo. It was in one of the magazines, maybe 20-30 years ago.

I remember it well - I was a regular customer from 1977 to 1980. I still have a lot of their King's Cross nameplates which I never used!

...or this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-train-set-/170938844425?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item27ccbfc509 which is worth over £3,000.
