Graham Farish Loco's Bargains or Over Priced?

Drakken · January 30, 2012, 10:28:38 PM

Hi all !

Picked these up today at a local 2nd hand shop ( Sorry for bad photo ) I didn't want to leave them in case someone else got in so snapped them up so i paid. Just wondering what you guys would have done ?

Cheers Chris

Decent price in running order IMHO, well maybe not the shredded wheat loco

Excellent, At least i didn't overpay

Its all they had though which was a downer at least my 'stock' doesn't look so bare

Cheers Chris

Paint up the Shredded Wheat one and stick some normal couplings on it and it works a treat as a dummy with another tank engine for double headed freight trains.

With my layout being a preservation, i thought it would be an idea to put parts of it onto the 3 plank wagons i've got 'waiting for repair' sort of thing but if it doesn't work i'll definatley use your idea

I'd say if they are in working order you did well.

I'd have bought them myself - at those prices you can't really go wrong!

PS: if you decide you don't want the 4P, let me know .... !!!

I think you landed a bargain there. Well done

When you get fed up with the Duchess she can come and stay with me

I'll certainly find room!

One thing I would do with any second-hand stock is make sure all the wheels are spotelssly clean before they go anywhere near your track

Dirty track/wheels is the quickest way to poor running and the resulting frustration

You may have to fight my daughter off, she fell in love with it when we went to NMR York at New Year

actually, at 26 yo I wish she would fall in love with a bloke, not a ruddy kettle
