Ruffnut Thorston Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Perhaps this deserves a thread of its own.

County of Yorkshire Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Thinking about it, I might be tempted if it came with scale load included - what with the price at the pumps now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren01 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) Yes, a bit of a Heinz! In a nice BR green, with Exeter plates (should be 34001) on Barnstaple body, with a Southern railway-ish tender, in the wrong green to be such. Something for everyone, really! 5 bids!. there are some will buy anything,i may do a west country in BR tops blue and stick it on ebay, i did read some where that they where to be scrapped in 1982!.............................

RMweb Gold Chris.D Posted July 23, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2013 I know Rails of Sheffield Ebay items normally go for more than the others, but surely this is being over ambitious. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bachmann-OO-39-411Z-BR-MK2A-HST-BARRIER-VENICLE-/130936522133?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item1e7c6cc595 It would be interesting to find out what the offer was though.

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted July 23, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2013 Not railway, and not neccesairly madness. I know these go for quite a bit but it's not a market I know all that well, but thought it might be of interest/amusement. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Austin-J40-Pedal-Car-for-Restoration-/330960261682?pt=UK_Car_Parts_Vehicles_Automobila_ET&hash=item4d0ec4d232 I never had one as a child but suspect some on here might have? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
