Anyone in Brum prepared to collect a medium sized package (3 Meccano
sets) from Halesowen and get it somewhere near North Herts?

email as I go through there several times a week, next time will be
Saturday. I am not coming South for some time but can hold it for you.

You lovely man. Thanks.

<bids>

 

ooh did you find a set 10?

 

I'm not far from there and could collect it
I work with someone who lives in Newport Pagnell so *might* be able to chuck
it in his direction but I'd have to ask him first.

Heh. No. But hope springs eternal...

Cheers Alex, I've placed a bid and we'll see what happens.

 

Set 10 was the holy grail even when I was a (little) kid. My uncle lived
in Singapore and he saw a set 10 going very cheap, but didn't buy
because he "didn't think I was interested". Somewhere, stashed away, I
have a ton of Meccano magazines along with the Meccano itself.

Where did you bury the body?

 

Pfft. In a loft somewhere is my 'O' gauge (3-rail, electric) stuff.
In a Capstan box that must have once held several thousand coffin
nails, iirc.

 

I have some Hornby Dublo in my dad's loft, although it is far from
mint. To be fair, it was second-hand when it was bought, so a lot of
it was pre-disastered even before I got hold of it. Even so, the
Mallard is worth a couple of hundred, I think.

 

No probs.
Someone else I work with lives in Bedford so that would be another possible
destination if that's any better.

Heh. I remember that, daft bugger.

 

I'm more worried about the Whinging Courier porn...

Endeavour to resist the urge. Be resolute. Take a cold shower or
something.
