Auction

#1

Post by bulleidboy »

I don't know how many of you read the Daily Express, but today there was an article about a forthcoming auction of model steam locomotives. The loco in the article is Duchess of Buccleugh - 7.25" gauge and ten feet long. Its sister loco was sold seven years ago for £183K - this one could top £200K. Anyone have any money left over from Christmas? It does look rather nice - even if it is LMS red!

I already dusted off the mantlepiece for it.

When did you move into Chatsworth House? :)

His furniture is on its way, via the high seas. Just a matter of time.

It's better than '0' gauge. I wonder how you get it home if you win the auction?
