Of course you and I know that, but EBay loves to send details to the taxman if you sell more than £1000 a year, whether it's a business or not. More importantly, from January to March, people are generally recovering from Christmas, and because my stuff is looked after well (aka stored well) I'd like to get the most I can - not that I'm ever going to be in profit (there's another thread on that, I believe).

Quote from: Newportnobby on April 14, 2026, 11:27:48 AMI was speaking to @Hailstone and he told me he has 3 x Moguls on pre order + other stuff so Lord only knows what @Bob G has on order. He'll probably be having ½ a dozen light pacifics at the least!!

It's a quiet year in N gauge land.
3 x Peaks and 2 x class 33s have already arrived.
Future spend will cover a Mogul, a Manor, 4 WC/BB (down from 5 as I'm being frugal) and 2 Ivatt 2MT. Oh and two Revolution 313 PEP units, a Gresley Buffet and a Gresley Full Brake. Maybe some YEOMAN bogie tipplers if they are ready.

And I'm not allowed to mention the expense of building the OO layout. Shhh. I might have got away with it! 

But as it's a new tax year, and I've closed my business, I have about £3k's worth of acquisitions to photograph, and sell, to offset the buying habit.

Top of the list of sales will be a BNIB Dapol Evening Star Pines Express set,
a 1970's era Tamper Brass kit with Kato chassis, hand made, painted and weathered by Dave Jones,
a BNIB green/SYP class 20 D8158 and a BNIB blue/FYP disc class 20 20048.
Offers on these are more than welcome to start the year off.

Why would you want to?

No Australians drink Fosters. That's why they export it.

Around here you couldn't buy a can of Fosters to save your life.

What? I thought Foster's was the best? Croc Dundee had me drinking it...

Ah the old question of VB and Fosters.

I was working at Carlton United brewery many years ago and the people I was with told me the Fosters brew was exactly the same as VB.

Hmm! not sure if they were joking or not.

That's DEFINITELY how they make Fosters.

But as I've noted before on the forum, you don't see it on tap much here, nor a Aussies drink it.

Quote from: Newportnobby on April 17, 2026, 11:25:04 AMMaybe that urine recyc tastes better than VB

Isn't that how the make Fosters ?

Great to see you out and about.

It's a good feeling.

With all best wishes.
