703 always was a good engine, load 12 and a dead 47 on the back up parkstone bank no problems atall!

Dodgey tho, my mum thinks it might be a trick auction!

I'd have my suspicions, if something's too good to be true it usually is...

We'll have to see.

I believe 'SPOONER' on the wnxx forum who owns Cotswold rail has confirmed it is being sold by e-bay hock:

Who in the right mind would waste thousands of pounds on a spoon?

Someone who is smart enough to realise that it can make them much more than they pay for it.

But not smart enough to realise 703 is a complete wreck?
I do wonder about some of these kids!

 

[37402]

No thanks!!

My sentiments exactly...

 

[Gizmogle]

Look at the catagorey tho, Photographs

I don't think they have a category for full sized trains on there...

Me for starters.......... Well they have proven themsleves %100 more versatile than your beloved sheds!

 

[O L Leigh]

I would be tempted, but my back garden isn't long enough. Plus I'm sure the neighbours would have something to say about it. Mind you I'm sure there wouldn't be any objections to me getting a new shed.

Ghostcav: Your fiver isn't going to stretch very far. Need a sub...?

one TN

 

[support-uk-rail]

wow.

I didn't know it was possible to buy a loco for that price, especially an operational one.

If I was earning upward of £50k a year, I'd buy that, but I earn about £250 from birthdays a year only.

I'd say contact Wenslydale Railway.

I'm sure you could find a heritage railway to have it stored.

 

[Techniquest]

My sentiments exactly...

I'll share the sentiments on 47703. I CANNOT stand the pile of junk!

Anyone up for splitting the cost of an oxy-acet kit? Sure Booths won't mind us happily cutting the thing up for them. I'd cut it up for free...

*Cue evil laugh*

Erm perhaps it can be used for spares to keep other 47s going longer?

Why not just buy the spares off demic spoons, why buy a whole loco when most companies who operate a fleet of 47's (Cotswold/Riviera etc) already have a store of spare parts. People/Groups who own 1 or 2 locos would probably just by the spares from a scrap merchant!

Can't see it been brought for more mainline running, hear it's knackered, oh and add to your purchasing costs some OTMR Unless it has it hock:

spoons are good locos, and at the GCRN we have 2 47s, 292 and 765, and they are mint locos!

I wouldn't say 765 is mint, in fact it looks a wreck:

The reserve on 47703 is reported to be £52,000.

well, yeh but when it is done up! It currently has no batteries, they are on loan to 292, soon to be repainted

Not worth less than £4.99 to me!

 

[P156KWJ]
