Great buys RG, looks like you know how to get bargains on the bay.     

A lot of it's down to luck Steamie+ . A few days ago, I lost out on a pair of Dapol JNAs, but the seller offered me second chance at the price of my last bid. While considering that offer, I found the pair at Rails for £10 less than my ebay bid. So a lucky escape there, but it can be easy to get carried away by ebay.

It sure can RG, thats why i stick to a limit and i will not go above it even if it's by 50p, because that's how easy it is to get into a bidding war. Very nice wagons you bought by the way from Rails.

I can't go on like this. I think I need an intervention.

Dapol 2F-010-009 JNA Falcon Network Rail (NLU29299) Weathered and 2F-010-010 JNA Falcon Network Rail (NLU29348) Weathered all new from Rails.

Graham Farish 377-700A JJA Mk2 Auto-ballaster Generator Railtrack (Weathered) and x2 Graham Farish 377-701A JJA Mk2 Auto-ballaster Flat-top Non-generator Railtrack (Weathered) all new from TrackShack. These will join the x2 377-701 bought from ebay to make a full set.

Graham Farish 372-800 Class A1 60163 'Tornado' BR Doncaster Green good as new from ebay. Seller wasn't sure if it had been chipped - it has. Won with a single bid at the opening price of £95.00. I am well bloomin' chuffed with this buy.

Graham Farish 372-800 Class A1 60163 'Tornado' BR Doncaster Green good as new from ebay....£95.00.

Exactly the same as I did with my Tornado 2 years ago - same price too!   The first Farish loco I'd bought for decades, but just had to have one of these.  I have to say very impressed with it.

My BR black 5 arrived yesterday (eBay bargain), but now the long return process will have to be started Described as smooth but when tested it was jerky and had a ticking noise!  Typical! Suppose its my own fault for even thinking it would "an excellent runner" which "moves moves smoothly in both directions". Shame as I was really looking forward to finally owning a black 5  :'(

My guess is that the motion is binding a bit on one side or the other of the black 5. I had a Dapol A4 that did that brand new out of its box. Sent it straight back for a replacement.

I finally got hold of some long-desired motive power.

The rather beautiful class 60 and a split head code 37
The 60 is my first metal sector and came DCC fited which was nice! Finally I have something appropriate to pull all those BDAs
