Re: eBay madness
That looks as if it may be part Archangel.

I see this is up for a third time but with the name Archangel thrown in for good measure.

Re: eBay madness
Is there a 'history' with this loco?

Re: eBay madness
Nice engine built by a well respected and competent builder and not many made so they don't often come up for sale.
I think if I had one to sell, this is the sort of figure I would be advertising it at to see if anyone bit with the understanding that I might take a lower offer.
When you get items like this come up for sale it is really hard to set a value.
Although I agree that just because something is old it doesn't make it valuable. The number of 80 year old Hornby engines or pre-war cameras I have had through my hands or been offered are a testament to that.
"You're into trains aren't you?"
"Errm, yes"
"What do you think of this?"
(Hands over totally b*****d Hornby No 1. tank engine, paint almost gone, rusty, wheels eaten by mazek rot, spring shot.)
"Errm"
"Wazzit worth then?"
"Nothing, its scrap"
"Don't talk rubbish, its old........."

But at 600mm long it makes mine at just under 1200mm the bargain of the year for me at £20………….And I maybe basis…..I think mine is better……….
