RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted June 25, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 25, 2022 I expect he hasn't got any at the moment so it's the old whack the price up as it's easier than taking the listing down. The next highest price is $79. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not unique...they say that they have two! 😉😀 They are a bit "shouty"...🤷🏼♀️ Quote I HAVE JUST TWO EXAMPLES OF THE FLYING SCOTSMAN 20 FEET x 5 FEET POSTERS AND THESE ARE ALMOST CERTAINLY THE ONLY ONES LEFT IN THE WORLD AS ALL THE OTHER POSTERS WERE PASTED ON ROADSIDE POSTERS DURING THE Hornby RAILWAYS ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN IN 1975. Maybe it's a "Full Size" poster. Not a miniature, like the transfers that were supplied with the Hornby Railways third series buildings...😀 🐉🙋🏼♀️ Edited June 26, 2022 by Ruffnut Thorston Additional 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't like the way he's put a pointy-legged bentwood chair on the poster for scale? hold it down?

The chapel chair did make me cringe. Surely at that price it's worth spending a fiver to buy a tape measure to slap across it? It's definitely a rare item, but the sections were rolled up originally and as with all vintage posters, having been folded up does affect the value quite a bit. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
