    I work in retail and every one now days seem to want things yesterday and even after a couple of days are asking if its in. What is the hurry.I Remember when you were told to allow 21 days for delivery when you ordered something. Ebay is the same they win the item one day and asking the next were it is. There is more I hope

    I think you will find Yodel have good delivery people and bad, Just the same with the post office if your lucky you have a good postie { I have } some times not. Its the same in any work place, Pride in the job. or just take the pay and don't give a dam

    There's a Lima deltic on Ebay at the mo for £5'400 or best offer You do get free postage with that price. I have one on the shelf in the loft I wish it was worth that kind of money But its not in mint condition so it must be worth at least £3000 NOT

    Yes your right about the higher price. I Emailed them about a Bachmamm class 108. in green they have on Ebay for £99.99 used and told them its available new from Hattons at £69.00 new. I did get a reply Thanks for letting us know. so worth checking about first for prices { Forgot to say offered them £70.00 for it and they declined the offer
  17. chris bales
    When I have made an offer on a Rails item I find the best offer excepted is about £10 less then the asking price below that the norm is a automatic declined notice

    A Hornby class 08 BR Green sound fitted for £60.00 buy it now. New to me this sound lark but it even works on Dc engine starts up and then the loco moves off. Auction just said it was DCC ready i was thinking the sound unit had been removed. This could get expensive
  19. chris bales
    Don't worry to much my friend I have purchased two locomotives and a couple of coaches from him. They have all been as listed excellent condition well packed and fast delivery. If your happy with the asking price then its up to you who you buy from. I don't beleave all i read same with reviews

    Now a Bachmann 04 re-work. Cow catchers made from ratio spear fencing and micro-strip { As per Clive } slatters card skirts Still not quite looking as it should but i am happy with it. Unfortunatley runs with a waddle a problem that often comes to pass with the 04s wheel sets. Have a Silverfox steam tram on order to run along side this and looking forward to this arriving when John has finished it { Yes the photo doe's show that the frame dirt has been over done this needs toning down the flash makes it look worse then it is }

    Hi Clive Seen these before my friend superb jobs, Can i ask what motor chassis have you used under them ? the far one looks like a kit built loco Have found a photo of the Yarmouth dock line
  25. chris bales
    Yes your right the front windows too are a different shape on some. Have now fitted it with a spud motor under it. Had a ride on the footplate of a Yarmouth Union locomotive when i was seven { 50 years ago } my uncle Cecil new the driver. From the Vauxhall yard to the scrap yard at the top end of the docks
