At the current escalating prices for Kato 103's it looks like you got a bargain for that alone and the track was the bonus!

Someone got one of the new 109s for £20 incl post, so perhaps they aren't escalating in price, except from some people on eBay who are trying to milk the suckers who don't shop around and don't know that the 103 has been replaced by an equally cheap newer (probably better!) version... One born every day!

I felt quite sorry for the guy selling this stuff, he said he was getting older and was having trouble seeing and handing something as small as 009 so he wqas selling everything to fund a move up to 0 gauge.

I'm not sure of the person you're referring to Stephen, but the chances are people would have only paid £15/20 for them so asking a lot more like some of the ebay sellers currently are is simply profiteering, no matter what they use the money for!

It was the 103, 7 yards of brand new unused track, which still had the Peco labels on plus what appears to be the contents of his 009 specific bits box. I don't think that £20 was profiteering, he could have got twice that on eBay.

I was replying to Mick's post at the top of the page, Stephen, not about your purchase! Confused? You will be!! ;)

Either way I am really pleased with the purchase, and spent a very pleasant evening looking for a suitable body for it. I am starting to think Tram loco, and maybe even try out a brass one :-)
