No new kits as such....but, while this forum was.....ever so slightly.....not working, I tended a bit on another interest that I have...

From the back, RSC-2, RSD-5 and another RSD-5. Waiting for a undecorated RS-3 and RS-11. These are HO btw...

Yip! Got to have trains lads! Actually miss being a fireman on 'my' 0-8-0 and 2-8-0!

 

[A4K]

Yeah, I guess so Jan!

Any more Model train pics btw?

 

[Lucky13]

Nope! Sorry young man....that's all that I've got here in Glasgow!
Tempted to get some more Alcos, or possibly a GP7/9 or SD7/9 or SD24!
Got all my HO stuff at my pal Michael in Sweden.....

I shouldn't buy anything more of anything, as I'm running out of storage!

 

[Wurger]

Nice hauls Evan.

[Lucky13]

Why unpainted Jan? And are they all runners and not dummies?

They're all runners my good man and they're undecorated, as they're meant for my freelance railroad, name to be decided later...

 

[A4K]

Cheers guys, and nice scores Andy!

Agony and ecstasy are the only ways to describe this scenario.

E Bay, last night. I had been watching the Trumpeter 1/48 Wellingtons, one the MkIII and the other the markI. They were scheduled to close two minutes apart. Let me say I am still new to E Bay so I do not yet have a good grasp on all the minutia of how E Bay works.

Anyway the Mk.III comes up first and I am the successful bidder....the ecstasy.

I then scroll to the Mk.I and get ready to bid, with 10 seconds left I hit the bid button and I am sent a message that I can't bid as I have not yet paid for my recent purchase. I believe I may have let out a sound resembling that of a small girl who's favourite kitty has run away. To say I was heartbroken was an understatement. To add insult to injury it would have been mine as there were no other bidders....
the agony of it all.

Even if I had have known the rule, I would not have had time to complete my first transaction before the second auction closed. I learned some valuable lessons. All I can hope for is the seller re-lists. I wanted the Mk.I to use in the Med. group build as one of 40 Sqdns. Malta based Wellingtons.

Anyhow, I now own the Mk.III and she will eventually be done up in 425 Sqdn. RCAF colours. She cost me $57.00 USD with shipping. A very fair price as she is new in the factory sealed box.

Cheers,

Jeff
