Hello Weave.  Where has the time gone?  I'm waiting for someone to help, and we're near the top of their list. So hopefully soon.  Sorry all!

I had a similar experience a few years ago when I advertised a garden table and four chairs on Freecycle. A lady said she would have it, but when she turned up she was in a largish SUV with 2 children in child seats in the back and a boot full of stuff! She stood and scratched her head for a while, gave up and drove off. I think she was waiting for me to offer to deliver it. How we laughed... The woman who eventually took it turned up in a large van, with a practical, no-nonsense attitude about her!

Cheers,

Chris

Not really happy, more funny.
I was in Screwfix waiting to collect a few bits as was the lady in front of me. The member of staff brought out the 110mm x 3m soil pipe to which she said "I didn't think it would be that long, I've only got a small car". Just how long did she think a 3m pipe would be?

Hi @Tank,

Any more news on the alerts issue?

Thanks, weave

I saw that, hopefully people will take advantage of the offers. Personally it is one wagon that for some reason I'm just not interested in regardless of price.

Skytrex produced a whole body kit of a Stanier 2-6-4 tank in the 1980s/1990s. It used the Farish Black 5 chassis and was a simple body replacement and add a bogie. I bought a Fairburn version which was a heavy lump of metal and would pull anything. In hindsight I wish I'd bought the Stanier version as, of course, the Fairburn has been superseded by the Farish R-T-R model.
