    Axlebox replied to Marcyg's topic in Ebay Topics

    ...well, I was just reading your bit on Trestrols (South Pelaw thread) and thought, I wonder how much they go for on ebay?, so I did an ebay search and the first one that came up was being sold by the very same chap with the £160 class 04...what a coincidence Uncle P! ...so that got me thinking, I should get you to suggest some numbers on next weeks lottery!

    Why not spend sometime on the Lickey incline, plenty of 16 tonners to keep you amused...and its not often you get to see what colour the railways actually were in the 1950s...I'd make your cup of tea first as may be here sometime. (have we seen this before?)
