A couple of years ago I bought a "job lot" on German ebay consisting of some coaches I wanted.
The remaining item in that lot was this box van, which is "too european" for my line . . .
A previous owner has fitted rechargeable batteries (plus fuses and other circuitry) to power a flashing red tail light. A switch and (presumably) charging socket have been added to the underside, along with a hole for the trailing wires you can see, which will allow adjacent coaches to be illuminated from the same set of batteries. One door has been taped closed (but I can't see why this couldn't be removed). In all other respects, it is as it left the factory (including plastic wheels) though unboxed. It's now time to move it on to a new owner who can enjoy actually use it. I'm looking for £50. If you are interested, start a "conversation" and, if you want, I can supply additional photographs. I'm willing to post (tracked) within the UK with postage at cost, but . . .
Alternatively, if you are coming to the Midlands Garden Railway Show (Warwickshire Event Centre) on the weekend of 12th/13th March or the London Festival of Model Railways (Alexandra Palace, London) on the weekend of 19th/20th March, both of which I'm attending as an exhibitor, you could check itout for yourself and take it away (cash on collection, please).
Cheers
David
