Hello Everyone from a snowy Norway,
Although I am a new member I am quite familiar with the forum and think I once could have being a member long ago?
No matter I do have a very specific purpose for joining at this time.
I am English 57 and have lived in Norway for 12 years after marrying a wonderful Viking!Regrettably I have suffered from seriouse illness for many years,I have over what seems like a very long time being disposing of a once very extensive Model & real railway items collection.
I have a small collection of First class Welsh/Slate NG books by Ivo Peters e.t.c. along with some of the best titles covering YORK railways by the likes of Ken Hoole e.t.c.
I would like these books to go to a good home ,the trouble is the postage costs from Norway makes the Royal~Mail look like a charity company so high are the costs of postage from here.:roll:
I will list the books below but because of the high cost of postage and little price differencial between the weights ideally they will have to be sold in no more than two batches,say the YORK titles as one batch and the Narrow gauge & Industrial as another.
