For some reason I can visibly see that the flanges on the Bachmann crabs look to be bigger/ deeper than most other post 2000 models, with the exception of the later (2011+ releases) which look to be more as one would expect.
I don't have any to measurments to confirm if what I am seeing is correct ...

Re: Ebay
Sorry if this has been asked before.
I just went to create a listing for the first time in a while, and now I can only see the postage options via ebay. Previously I could arrange my own postage and just list how much I would charge. Can I still do this somehow or is it all tied into ebays system ...

Hornby GWR Prairie
Bought with damaged box, the Loco has never been run aside from testing with a 9V battery.
The model is in excellent condition, and complete with detail pack pictured. I had removed the body to see how much room there was inside for a DCC sound chip etc.
I am asking £47 plus £3.50 UK postage ...

SR Adams 4-4-2T
I bought this Oxford Rail model to hijack the DCC sound decoder for another Adams.

Hornby 4-2-2 Single in early LMS x2 + R2806 set (LMS single and 3 LMS ex Caledonian coaches
Hi, due to a bit of over excitable ordering I have one R2806 set spare to sell or split, and the loco's from the other 2 sets to sell, so I thought I would see if any interest here first.
