      Was it just their tails that were green? I thought there parents might have been a little more imaganive with the names. The christening must have been confusing.

      And to think how much trouble I used to have just to tip them, and I only did that one at a time.

      I'm not going so I'd suggest you leave it until Monday morning. You shouln't have any difficulty getting to the front of any stand or exhibit you want to. Just remember to take a really big rucksack too, and mutter under your breath at other people....

    Sorting out my late fathers collection, he had a lot of wooden felt lined storage trays 9 locos per box), would love to know the source for these.

      I'm about to do the same, really pleased with the Hatton's announcement.

      The 4x4 isn’t too bad, I’m hearing.

      If you read the wiki page its seems most went back to the Baltic states and Russia. The Niva wasnt bad as a cheap 4x4 - apart from the horrendous welding

  16. adb968008

    After years of living in the past, I've a growing collection of modern image now.

  17. adb968008

    It's really frustrating when people don't read descriptions on ebay, then want to return it... and it's always the ones who get it cheap in the first place. Another user is banned from my listings tonight

    1. MarkC

      MarkC

      Very true. There's the other side too, of course - very vague descriptions with cleverly angled photographs that don't <quite> tell all... Have suffered both - the joys of eBay...

    Just been to see Clan Line on the Belle.

    Lima class 47 refurb program.. just bought 12 Hornby 47's at £34ea, to replace 24 Lima chassis, the Hornby bodies, boxes, Lima boxes and old chassis all for ebay

      And I've gained a ton of space, and expect the net cost to be not too far away from zero when finished.

  20. adb968008

    Just sold something on ebay, and noticed I'd just bought something from the same person on the same day !

    1. Tim Hall

      Did exactly the same last year, and the same price, almost to the penny.

      Balanced trade, then!

      Took 1 hour at the post office. Sale is a sad one, merging my late dads collection to mine. I'm swamped in trains currently.

      So have you any recently made ex-GWR steam locos in your collection, and if you do please can you PM me?

    3. adb968008

      adb968008

      so far only 60, just sent you a PM, though I do have a 3440 on ebay at the moment

    4. Jinty3f

      Jinty3f

      Surely the offer is a maximum of £1 per item sold, so sell 100 items, pay £100 pounds - eBay aren't that generous!

  24. adb968008

    started the sad job or merging my late fathers collection with mine. Sadly several hundred must go.

    1. Trainshed Terry

      Trainshed Terry

      Dutch_master, those are wise words as Ebay is no longer the place any items like that.

    2. thaddeus

      thaddeus

      bought at a specialist auction last year, sold on ebay at a profit - where is your God now?

       

      be sensible with ebay. only list at a price your prepared to sell at and remember fees both ebay and paypal

  25. adb968008

    Has just been advised of a 2018 Plandampf in Trier... that might be bigger than the last one in 2010.. that saw 100+ Steam services per day !
