eBay My World: 1512donny( 201)

Over 21 (x3)married, GSOH, enjoy DIY, been modeling N-Gauge trains for .......years (or there about)member of N-Gauge soc.,now enjoying my retirement.

Old (B/W)Railway Mags. Ideal for just browsing, of finding some details from actual photos of the period.

English, 'Jockanese'

N-Gauge layout 10' x 3.6'twin track double loop (over & under)with double track 'Factory'loop and am now adding a 6 road marshalling yard. All British STEAM freight (a few scottish numbered loco's - 5 Black 5's)1930's to 1960's. WARNING;- Beware of Diesels !! they are a flash in the pan and will never last!! I enjoy walking round my Golf Coarse hitting a Golf Ball, not to be confused with what Tiger Woods does, THAT is Golf !

Comedy, Action, or any with trains;-The Train, Von Ryan's Express, Titfield Thunderbolt, Silver Streak, Ghost Train B/W, Train of Events B/W, O Mr. Porter B/W, N W Passage, Bawani Junction, Murder on Orient Express and Buster Keeton's 'The General' B/W.

I like Mozart, despite not writing anything new recently !Beethoven carries a tune well so does Bach, Haydn, Vivaldi and that fellow who wrote the 1812 and the odd ballet, the one with the 100 point scrabble name ??( could it be Tchaikovsky ) Also enjoyable is a bit of 'Swing', Goodman, Basie, Ellington, Calloway, Artie Shaw, Fletcher Hernderson, etc.etc. Not forgeting the Queens of 'Blues' Ella, Aretha, Lenna Horne, Billy Holiday, Peggy Lee, etc.etc.

Sport - Football Golf, Comedy, News, Films.

LIKES;- The sight & sound of a Steam Loco infront of a heavy load, all steamed up and ready to go. The Driver gives a blast on the whistle, the steam exhaust, a little wheel slip and this great mass of steal glides forward. DISLIKES;- Small nuts that refuse to screw onto small bolts !Little springs that defy the laws of physics and fly off in disproportionate distances. Rivet Counters,OH! spare us from the ramblings of the 'rivet counter',I do not care if that carriage should be behind the other and not in front, does it REALY matter if THAT loco is pulling a mixed freight and not a passenger set and REALY, what IS the diference, if that wagon is not the same era by ONE year or not, I ask you ???

Enlisted at e-bay only recently and am enjoying the experience (so far).

PayPal seems the easiest method.

For peace of mind I perefr to use Recorded delivery despite the extra fee, I think it is worth it.

I try & describe an item to the best of my ability, you see and read what you are bidding for - if in doubt, DONT bid.

E-Bay e-mail

Loco's;-PLEASE, do not just say, TESTED. Say, loco tested and runs well forward & reverse, fast & slow (if that IS the case). You could be saying,This loco (does not run very well, I know because it ) was Tested. Surely the RESULT of the test is the important factor,not that it was tested !
