...or rather loosely based on Maurices entrprise. Offer to buy club members 'broken' or 'non-running' locos with a view to reparing them and selling on or breaking for spares.
Boxed or unboxed in any condition we could make an offer based on the actual condition. If they are really poor with bits missing then make a much reduced offer and use them for spares only.
Not really fully thought this through yet but in the first instance get comments from everyone so please fire away.
Mike, I decided to withdraw the proposal, working on, I hope, a more lucrative proposal. Watch this space! Maurice.
