I recvd a delivery of Second Hand items today from GRS. I am always a bit wary of buying S/H items unseen, these were the first S/H items I have ever bought from GRS ( although I have bought New LGB items from them previously)

I bought some trams and a couple of 20 year old Barmerbahn style DR coaches.

All the items I bought were in perfect as new condition, it the case of the trams the items supplied for user fitting ( gates etc)
were still in original packing and unopened.
The wheel treads ( and skids where applicable) were unmarked on all the items!
The prices were quite reasonable compared with new discount prices and nextday delivery was free.

I know there has been some critisism of some retailers S/H items, but I can fault nothing with what has arrived today

Photo attached of one of the trams a 21360 Cologne Tram ( Collecter Item uncatalogued) which I believe is the only decoder on board tram LGB produced) I have the pleasant job of digitizing the others001.JPG
 
I fitted a decoder in one of the other trams this afternoon, although I have fitted the LGB trams previously with decoders ( some hard wired others direct decoder type) I always get a bit frustrated when doing these!

Its not the actual decoder fitting that is the easy bit, the dismantling is simple enough, its the re assembly that requires the time!

It is easy to see that like many items in the LGB range the trams were designed well before digital came on the scene , and the prospect of the end user having to do a dismantling job ( other than lubricating the gears or changing a traction-tyre or light bulb) would never have occured to the designers all those years ago!
Still all is well now i have been running a couple of them on the bit of the line so far laid, I suppose that I should start looking for some catenary :D
