Baz Coal seams in the Black Country could be as thick as 30 feet; far from crawling around on their knees all shift, some Black Country miners had to use ladders at the coal face Of course it played havoc with building subsidence, some evidence of which is still around. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebay call it keyword spamming - draws unfair attention to a listing. You can even report it to them. Yet when reported nothing actually happens, I have reported dozens of them when bored. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it says “DCC” but when you read the description it means DCC ready. For £238 you would expect DCC sound. One for the Gostude rip-off category.

Darius I think you'd be lucky to get the baked beans Looking at some of his other stuff and mis-matched titles/descriptions.

Obviously a great deal of research, market expertise and thought has gone into the pricing of this locomotive. £, 2, 3, 4, . 5, 0 If I could be bothered, I would have a look look at his other items for sale and see if there's anything for sale for say: £12.34, £23.45, £34.56 etc. etc. But I have more pressing issues to attend to, chiefly, swearing at the battery on Miss Riding Hood's Triumph Herald. It's sulking at lack of use. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
