Another great haul, Clive. I'm glad my power supply is new. So is my Yaesy 991A. My power supply is from MFJ and is a 30 amp continuous as my Yaesu 991A draws about 20 amps when I'm transmitting. Yeah I'm a Ham. My train controller power supply is new also, a MRC Tech 7. 73 from K9POW in eastern TN

I have a couple of small yaesu psu in cabinets for a 2 way, the regulator went on one and pumped in some nasty volts and smoked my colt excalibre. I like the old school supplies, my two 30amper are Daiwa and microset, so they`ll happly run a linear amplifier or my kenwood, my old FT102 plug in the wall, last of the valve radios

I looked at buying some new evening hunting around they were going to run me 220 quid and for a lot less than I got here.

Nice haul of points there Clive and I really like the crew truck. You're definitely right it's getting harder to find those bargains.

Yeah people just seem to pluck a figure and trebble it and see what happens

Bachmann wagons tend to pop their boidies off their chassis easily which is why they glued it, I had bachmann when I was a child, I wanted Mehano and Trix.

Yes I`ve a few unknown kits that need some rework when it comes the time

I am in Melbourne Australia and would love those prices.. the points here start from $30AU second hand and $40+ AU onwards for new basic points and the larger points or 3way points are nearly $80-100 ea new...... and I am also getting sick of the sellers just putting items in a box or bag with no bubble wrap or protective packing and hoping it gets to the person ...... I never send anything out myself that I have sold without it being bubble wrapped and firmly packaged in a box so that it doesn't move at all and arrives intact at the customer's address..

Yeah people really have little clue on how to pack stuff, If They think there items marked fragile are given any different treatment from the rest are gullible. Peco new prices are getting stupid you don`t want a track plan with a double slip, unless you`ve got a third kidney to sell

Those are the old Bachmann EZ-mate couplers, installed on tha Accurail hopper not good at all. it originally came with the NMRA X2f horn hooks judging by the age of the box

Yeah I`ve a few that still have the horn hooks in the bags, and thats where they`ll stay.
