Hi Maurice. You are doing a grand job with the loco acquisition. Is That Scotsman still for sale? At such a good price, I would have thought that it would be snapped up as soon as posted. Do you think that a change to the banner, to indicate that a new loco is for sale, would hasten the process?
By the way, If you come across an A3 that is in a poor or damaged state as part of a deal, then I would be interested in buying it.
Hi Maurice
I would very much like that loco.
Sorry not to follow up on this earlier. No notifications by email about this thread until this morning!
With visitors and delivery of kitchen cabinets, I have only been checking my emails lately.
Mike
Ive tried ringing him. No avail. Must be away. I'm in no hurry - Mike got in first.
Mike, waiting to hear if the FS is for you? If I haven't heard by close of play tomorrow Friday, I'll assume you don't want it. Maurice
Hi Adrian, fine with me, just need to hear from Mike.
If Mike doesn't want it can I have it please?
Mike you might be interested in one I bought spares or repairs from ebay the other day for £225. It heats up, motor moves, lights work, tender wheels all free but steam is escaping from safety valve area. I havent opened her up yet but if you wanted a cheaper one Mike you can have that for what I paid. It needs a good clean and is missing a chimney.
I gave an FS to the Club in return for Richard repairing my original FS but that meant I only have one! A bit daft when I have 30+ A4s! Might have been better to give a Mallard set - I must have 10 of those (waiting for renaming/renumbering/conversion).
I really need another FS to run.
Hi Mike, the loco is sold, Nick has been away and has not got round to taking it off yet. I have just bought another Scotsman, it is in good used condition, the box is as new and none of the accessories have been used. I will be putting it up for sale at £350, I have tested her, could do with a service, but the loco is undamaged, not crashed both steps in place and not glued on. I have not serviced her yet, so if you want as is, and she is for you and not to sell on £300. this will still leave £50 for the club.
I’ll ask to Nick to have a look at the banner, Maurice
