That was my thought when I looked at it, and if they go for anything like the current price, a real bargain for you.

I somehow doubt they will stay at that price for long, they have 78 watchers at this stage.

I am one of them. But those with hollow pockets will get them, I know it won't be me unfortunately. They would look great on our new line we are starting soon....

I would bid up to around Β£500 for that lot, but I am not interested, but no doubt someone else will have similar thoughts.

Let me rephrase that, if I had money I would expect that lot to go for that sort of money, if I really wanted it.

I was interested in these too Rik but I won't tread on your toes and bid as that will only make them more expensive. If you get them cheap I'd be interested in a couple if they don't fit your railway :D :thumbright: Good luck! Hopefully collection only will keep bidding down

They went for Β£222.77 which was more than Β£100 over my maximum bid. Even so, as Steve says, it's still a bargain - but more than I could afford to paymeven though I planned to sell most of them on.

A real bargain for such a collection, we will probably see some of them again sold separately soon.
