I've never liked them anyway, wouldn't want to pay more than £600 personally, the only reason I would get one is to scrap the body and make a Bowaters Chevalier out of it.

Good news for those of us who managed to get one of the original issue GRS LKM diesels:

Proves to have been a very sound investment!

Typical of most 16mm modellers who haven't ever got around to mastering the black scary art of the spray gun.
The toilet brush being the preferred paint applicator.

Given the more sensible price the one in the link below went for I don't see how the one I mentioned in my previous post can be worth the starting bid:

No it's not and would probably just make that if the starting price was more reasonable, the trouble with these lady Anne's is that there are a lot of them and always the first to cast off when somebody wants to move on to something more exciting or has some resemblance to a real loco.

Should anyone on here succeed in "winning" this item, I'd be happy to suggest a name:
Plenty of people seem interested, potentially a cheap way to acquire some RH running gear - and boiler? They surely can't be inspired by the poor thing's looks??
Cheers,
Andrew.

Not madness, a nice looking Regner Willi. If I hadn't recently managed to pick up a Wilma I'd be tempted.

Edit: Sold within 12 hours of listing, well that a great temptation removed.

They're "rare", I don't think you can put a price on heritage.

Just Wow, no, at the price, but then let us be honest, we have all paid, at least once, over the odds on ebay.
