Soon to become 50002 then..........................

O.K. Guys, Calm down, it was brought for a test run today by a visitor to the POD.

 

Brian / @Brian Hawkins brought along a friend, Gary, (sorry Gary, I don't know your second name), who has just got into O Gauge, and brought this Sound Hoover and 08740 the same as I have for sale.

 

We had a nice hour and some running various bits up and down Seven Mills and out of Bench Road.

 

Thanks for coming Guys, it was good to meet you both.

Long story = short version.

I bought them by mistake, I love NORMAL Jaffas, and got told by the Good Lady that I must read the packaging before buying things.

The Good Lady hates Blackcurrent, and I had tried one, and was less than impressed, and so when Scott came, it was the ideal opportunity to off load them.

Strictly speaking that would be classed as bribery.

Is there any other way?

[D6775]

Figured the 50 would be a guest, not making you re-think and go for a new 7mm layout full of toothpast liveried locos (47 is due later in the year).

Thanks Jerry, That's very kind of you to say, I'm hoping the new owner will be interested in keeping this thread going, and showing any more additions and up dates, but first I need a buyer for both Seven Mills and Bench Road.

Yep, It Hoovered up the C**p I leave all over the Layout.

 

I prefer the revised as well. 

[Andrew P]

Just had a great hour on the phone with Rich / @MarshLane putting the World in generally to rights and talking Trains.

 

Thanks for the call mate, really appreciated, just going to sort out that PM I promised you now

[Andrew P]

Not a lot to report I'm afraid other than 3 more Locos and the Brake Van sold yesterday, and several more enquires on the two Layouts.

 

A little more to do out there later after a walk down for the morning paper. We have Thunderstorms forecast from lunchtime onwards into the evening.

 

I have to do some more pics of things as requested by a couple of people as well. so back later.

Well that's positive news. A few more pennies for the new layout.

 

Plus you are still getting enquires about SMS so that's good.

 

Chin up Mr P you're getting there. Might not be as fast as your layout building but you are moving forward.
