Quite a few on eBay if no luck on here.

There’s a Hogwarts one for about £15. Just need a repaint.

The word ‘just’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, Brian. :D

Yes I know Steve but at 15 quid got to be worth a try. :D

I don't agree with the words, just a repaint. I just thought I would ask on here and buy from a forum member if any had one to get rid of. I know there are always some on ebay and will probably get one from there. I thought I could help a member by buying his on the forum. Thats all.

Fair enough Sandy no problem. I have repainted several locos in the past with a brush and had excellent results. It was just a suggestion. That’s one of the things the forum is for. :)

Hi Brian yes I also have painted several locos over the years with brush and had good results. but it is the transfers that cost a bomb. Steve was amaised at the cost of the transfers when he painted my last Hogworts. But he made a lovely job of it.
