second hand websites.

Post by Matt » Sun Mar 30, 2008 1:39 pm

Does anyone know of any websites where I can get a live steam engine for under £300? (Don't say ebay. I've already checked, and there isn't anything that I can buy).

Well I have trawled and trawled the net, and never come across one. It would be great if there was. BUT, email Alan at PPS, and ask for a Second Hand list, there's usually something less than £300....

Hmm, if I was to get there in time for all the bargains, it'd cost my father (& 'The Planet') in fuel. So I guess I'll just have to live without!
