Graham stuck his bid in on this one and didn't expect to win it --- but here is number 3. This one is in for some modifications that we were not prepared to do on the first 2.

We also had 8 pieces of straight track arrive yesterday so now all we need are some points and we will have the start of a nice track. Hope you like this one -- Need a name for him -- Jilly

Oh, sorry, you would have probably got it cheaper if it wasn't for me!
I gave up bidding on it as there are others coming along in a few days, but I thought that one would make a good basis for upgrades.

Yes, you still got it for a great price.
Just that you might have got it at a better price if I hadn't bid. I was just after a speculative bargain.
Maybe now you have 3 locos I stand a better chance with the next one I bid on

Thanks every one Im at work so shouldnt be on here
but I plan to mod it as far as we can go will need some ideas tho.
You should be ok we will not be bidding on any more trains for a while. getting close to having enough track for a garden railway. Jilly wants some points so we can have a siding as well.
Cheers G-J

Heyy Chris --those points look good -- are you bidding on them ?--if you are we wont go for them, but will if you aren't. (hope that makes sense.) Had a few glasses of champers here to celebrate another grandchild on the way for Graham. this will make no 3. Jilly

Nice buy G-J. Seems a very good price too
James, Jimbo is a nice name for a loco But it would have to be a "sales" train with a carriage full of pop pop boats. Stopping and selling stuff at every station

I am watching the points, but I wont bid.
I don't think they would work well on my bark chippings that I currently use for running the loco on.
Sure you will make better use of them.
