Somebody at the company must have a Vauxhall Zafira! Mike.

Just to paraphrase everybody, isn't everything we get from ebay a good buy, or we wouldn't buy it? Mike.

As Braunton/Lord Dowding will have been through the works a number of times in it's life, it maybe as close to one as the other once component swaps are taken into consideration. Mike.

Currently doing 1 in 4's in EM, fought shy of a double slip though! Mike.

Where did I say that. I shall gracefully withdraw from this thread so as not to cause further friction. Mike.

How many men does it take to rerail a wagon?!! Mike.

It's got nothing to do with how much it costs to make one, I'm referring, (not complaining), to the selling costs, a benchmark has been set, and we can rightly or wrongly make inferences from the facts we have to hand. Mike.

This seller and his like must be bricking it now that the bottom has fallen out of the dublo market, he's probably got shedloads of virtually worthless stock. Mike.

Ebay for me everytime, it must be a bargain. Mike.

Just as an aside, are you bending Sheffield railway history a tad, as the closest MSW electrics got to Grimesthorpe/Brightside was the Wicker Arches or Broughton Lane, or am I just being pedantic? Mike.

Agree. He's too bloody quick, haven't started to make noticeable inroads into the coke hoppers yet! Mike.

Honest Ivans. Part exchange with a Portescap either way a speciality. Mike.

It's probably cheaper and less faff to build a new one for anyone so inclined. Mike.

We know how much a bogie tanker starting from scratch costs thanks to Revolution, so we seem to be expected to pay some £25 on cost for the privilege of these. Mike.

I never saw one on freight, the nearest I got to that was arriving at Doncaster one sunday and finding D9000, (I think), shunting the carriage works sidings, it was suitably photographed. Mike.

Perhaps he's hoping they are Larry Goddards, would give a smidgin of credence to the price? Mike.

Es perfecto para calibre ancho. Mike.

Don't tell that Pete75C bloke, but I've got quite a weak spot for these. Mike.

Many years ago, in the days of Vauxhall Cavalier repmobiles, a colleague of mine was stopped on the M5 one typical yukky, wet and windy dark November friday night whilst on his way home to Bristol. The police car pulled up behind him on the hard shoulder, and out got the officer in full foul weather gear beckoning my colleague to join him at the rear of the Cavalier. Of course, bedecked only in shirt and suit trousers, his jacket hanging in true rep fashion behind the drivers seat, he was somewhat exposed to the elements, in complete contrast to the police officer. Whilst at the rear of the car the officer bade him to kneel down and look underneath his car. I've just followed you for a few miles and thought I saw something hanging underneath your car sir, said he in pleasant police speak, can you see anything at all under there? When my colleague answered in the negative, the officer said "Oh, I'm sorry, it must have been your right foot, drive a bit slower for the rest of journey" With that he wheeled away back to his patrol car leaving my somewhat saturated and weatherbeaten colleague to rue the error of his ways. Mike.
