    Trawling eBay I came across a couple or three San Chueng coal hopper wagons ( brass )

    1 factory finished in black, in original box and absolutely mint........ £69.50. Now given that Heljan o gauge in plastic are selling for more. I think that's a bargain. Pictures will follow on delivery from House of O gauge.

    Next find ....... The same in bare brass. Same again, boxed etc ...... New ....... Same price. 4 available ......... Not anymore.

    Pictures will follow.

    Cheers

    Oh there is. It's coming shortly. My coffers will need to be diverted shortly. SWMBO'S birthday and our next trip away. Not to mention Christmas. :facepalm: my spending spree is very close to being over for a while.:confused:

    The shed extension may happen yet Gary. I could take away the old ( but perfectly fit for purpose ) smaller shed and knock a hole through.:avatar: SWMBO would go ape. :avatar:

    No that's right, they heard you were buying so they're making more ready for you :avatar:
    Detailing does look very good, will be interesting to see the paint finish on them

    At £46.00 they could be popular. I think they are worth that much.
