WHAT THE !!!!???? (second parcel)

what a day!!! as stated in the other thread "demon delivery" 2 parcels arrived this very morning. ...after composing myself from the first parcel i ventured to to open the second.....I WAS  expecting a small parcel from phil but this was a big box????  it had lizs and my name on it!!! i thought that phil was having a joke!!!  A HANDFUL of rivets in a BIG box.lol lol  so i opened the box  and saw this.



?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
when i was chatting with phil about the rivets he said he was in a hurry to catch the post office ?????? so i thought "oh dear ...phil has stuffed up!! its a good job he is a forum member" puzzled i unpacked more and found this                          



its too much ...first with geoff s gift and now this .... LIZ started crying!!!   "such mates " she said!!! SO what could i do???

STEAM IT OF COURSE ! (i fixed some minor issues and gave it a clean)

 thankyou CLINTON

totally unexpected les and its a 1947!!!! unexpectantly liz and i have now got a nice small collection of 1946/ 48 engines ...clinton was aware that "special" interest in this period had started so a 47 engine fits right in.......i didnt know this till i looked it up so i got yet another surpise. apart from it being a "luton" bowman

Awesome!

Wow ... such Great People inhabit this forum.

It is obvious that the givers are truly golden hearted folks, but it can only be that the receivers are wholly deserving for past deeds of their own.

This is all most excellent, so I'll just have to say it again ... WOW!!!
xlchainsaw

thanks guys .... its not so much the material nature of the gifts... its the "extra" care to surpise that cuts us up and makes liz cry.   ive a got a bit of a lump in my throat  ....come to think about it.
Celsius 100

Extremely good indeed.
MrMamod

Glad you got it ok and Happy Birthday to you both     .
igy569
