Not eBay but from a UK stamp dealer - a James Bond first day cover “signed” by Bond actress Denise Richards.

The problem is that this does not look like a real signature - more like computer script as the letters are geometrically similar and identical.

Also that’s not how you spell Christmas…

EDIT - the stamp dealer has now confirmed that the signatures are mock-ups as the covers haven’t yet returned from being signed.

Possibly by measuring Super 4 track from OUTSIDE the rail edges you could bump it up to 18mm.

I've a double oval of Super 4 with crossover points for running old Triang stock, but its packed away at present so I can't measure it myself.

 

At the current bid, it's "reasonably" priced, but I wouldn't consider bidding much more.

If I wanted it.

Which I don't!

 

It went for £8.50 + £4.05 delivery.

Whoever wanted it did well, I suppose...

Someone clearly thinks that it, or parts thereof are worth the starting bid of £15...

I suspect it may, like many dubious homebrew 0 gauge diesels, have a Lima motor bogie, which, if you're into such things, might be considered worth £15, given the (IMHO) ridiculous prices old Lima stuff seems to fetch these days.

Wonky? 

 

Is that a typo?

 

🤔

 

A cheap Aldi fruit&veg offering.

You haven't lived if you've never experienced a wonky cucumber...

Five-a-day?? 😎🔦

 

Five wonky cucumbers a day is possibly overdoing it....

That's you're opinion and you are entitled to it. Others may disagree.
