MrWolf Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) At the risk of being judged a cynic, I'm glad I'm not married anymore. The only kind of hump I got then was of the broken television variety. You know the one, picture, no sound. What were we talking about? Oh yes, that Millholme J28 is now up to £290 and 40 bids. It's a nice looking loco but ouch! Especially as the original poster pointed out that it is still available for £100.

It did not sell for some reason! Maybe the price put people off!

The price tag suppressed any interest I might have had. Not that long ago though, back in the 90s I had a 1953 Vauxhall Velox, according to my neighbour, every time I drove past his satellite dish it "#@%&s up Sky sports" I called it a result.

At least that's what it needs, with a large pair of shears.... Tony If it wasn't for the lockdown, you could write the description up something like: Rare! Until the model railway exhibitions start up again and you'll find one in every £2 bin... I have to admit that it is rare though. Rare to see anyone asking £25 for a bit of dog-eared old Superquick. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
