A quick ebay search shows good (and sometimes boxed, which we all know adds a lot!) ones going for £50-80. Rough ones such as this probably could get £20 on a good day... but not from me. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted August 2, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 2, 2023 Originally part of the ‘Transcontinental’ range, I have no idea if it was based on any actual prototype but always thought it looked a bit European. ISTR it could pick up through the pantograph as an alternative to from the track. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybercrime! He's big on the threats isn't he? Except that if he goes to the police, they'll just say it's a civil matter and tell him to go away, they can't even deal with the actual cybercrimes. Any refernece to 'cyber' gives me an instant Dr Who flashback! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who has worked in a drawing office on and off for 25 years, the price isnt the only thing that annoys about this. No its not a schematic! a schematic is a drawing made of of symbols to show the workings of a system and not intended to be a realistic interpretation. These drawings are general arrangement drawings showing plan and elevation views. rant over lol 2 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark One of my exes did actually take my car and my dog. Someone, (I think that it was Sinatra.) Said that a lot of women are like monkeys, they don't let go of the branch they have until they've got a good grip on the next one. The new guy bought her a new BMW coupe and a couple of horses. I would have liked the dog and the car back, but twenty years later it really doesn't matter, besides, my current Memsahib shows that particular ex up for what she was and probably still is. 1 1 2 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
