Which is why I often refer to "the vendor", neatly sidestepping all this pronouns malarky! How much is a couple of pounds weight of brass worth as scrap? It must be worth that at least... Definitely less than £45. There's a lot of this sort of junk about being touted as railwayana. Another one is the wall mounted oil lamps stamped GWR, LBSCR etc. They were made (Completely legitimately I might add) in the 1990s by a company named Northern Lights in Chesterfield, for use in pub and hotel decor. There's also some very nice copper gas lamp tops available too. The only railway connection being that their factory was on former GCR land. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204685103864?

Sjcm Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) I think you're all being a bit cynical here. Personally, I think it's finally scientific proof that time travel is possible and Mr. L. Andrews used his knowledge to save an awful lot of money by future proofing his public notices. As the Euromillions lottery was only rolled out to catch potential timetravellers, don't be surprised if it's mysteriously cancelled in the coming weeks now the truth is out there. *puts on tin-foil hat* Edited March 14 by Sjcm 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 On the flip side, (from the seller point of view) I’ve just been accused of ‘scalping’ by a supposed model rail enthusiast becuase I’m daring to sell more than one of the same thing that I bought with my own money. Disgraceful behaviour, I am appropriately chastened. the fact that all of my items start at 99p and have no reserve appears to have escaped this person’s shimmering intellect. 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
