RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted February 13, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 13, 2013 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Great-Western-Railway-/300860991730?pt=Antiquarian_Books_UK&hash=item460cb668f2 I don't think the letter is addressed to Winston Churchill. Hardly - and it is actually not an original letter but an end paper from the GWR book 'Cathedrals' - carefully obscuring the footnote stating that is what it is. The BIN price is an absolute rip-off, even if it is a first edition (of which 30,000 were printed) - I paid about 20 odd quid for my copy (a 3rd edition) last year and it is in better condition than that one is described as being in. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

40F Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 £12 is the correct price - but for a pack of 3: http://www.ehattons.com/32242/Hornby_R6482_Open_Wagons_in_T_Threadgold_blue_D_R_Llewellyn_red_and_LMS_Loco_Coal_grey_liveri/StockDetail.aspx But if they're "brand new" why aren't they in a box? I think that they are a different wagon. The one from Hattons is in the Railroad Range and has plastic wheels and a running board whereas the one list for a pack of three has metal wheels and no running board.

richbrummitt Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I cannot believe that anyone uses rare, unique, &c. and especially not L@@K as search terms so why would anyone waste characters on them in their title? This is of course a somewhat rhetorical question. Second on my list of stupid things written on eBay is in the feedback field where the letter A and a string of +++ appears, which suggests the field need only be two characters maximum for a majority of users. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
