  1. Ah, but no but yea but - Dennis, did you not see this - "kept in a temperature and humidity contorted environment" and no doubt at great expense.

  5. poo-poo, do-do, stinky-winkums,
  6. What a layout cost to build, and what it could be sold for a few years later, are two totally different beings. I have dismantled no less than nine layouts in my lifetime, no one would have wanted to buy them. Not because I'm a bad modeller, because I am a very good modeller. No one wants another man's empire. A used layout has to be one of the hardest things to sell. For a halfway realistic price that is. I currently have three layouts, a British 00 almost complete, a USA Maine Seaport layout, built to be dismantle-able, 99percent complete, and a USA On30 portable layout 50percent done, could I sell any of them for a quarter of what they cost? No. Especially if time to build was taken into account. Knowing the value of a layout is easy for anyone who has built one. Realizing that value in a sale - impossible.
  7. "Have a look and then LOL. 36E" From a layout point of view, I see nothing to laugh at. It's a very nice little layout. But HOW MUCH? No, no, no, no, no. You would have to find the one - the one that's born every minute, to sell it for that price. Starting bid 600 quid, and it might see some interest. (Not from me)
