Late to the party again , and yet again astounded by everyones offerings ....
Are we just the luckiest or what folks !
The long time rascals in this thread might recall a year ago or so I managed to aquire a collection of British locos , one of which was a fairly scarce British Marx Silverlink Loco and tender , which was sadly missing a drive wheel and had a damaged axle ... All good things come to those who wait tho , because this week I was lucky enough to find the exact wheel I was looking for ... and even better in Australia and at a very reasonable $75
Quick reminder of the Silverlink in question ...
And here is the spare wheel and axle for it .... I know some people will think $AUD75( 50ish US$) for a Marx wheel ... That Fatman is on drugs!
It did however come with a few other parts .....
A whole SWAG of British Marx ! Two electric and one clockwork loco , with tenders and one carriage , and other stuffs thrown in ... even a little Triang Minic "Jack in the Boat " clockwork rowboat ( for a little extra )
A happy day at Casa Fatmanos !
