I got my Hornby 8f on ebay, brand new for £35. It was on a "buy it now" or "best offer". I pitched my best offer a good bit below the buy it now price but still close enough to tempt the seller. He took my offer and so I had no bidding frenzy which almost always seems to happen in the last couple of minutes on a desirable item. It's a good model and runs very well. I think I've mentioned before that it has been renumbered and expertly (medium)weathered. Really looks the part.

48111 - I think you should treat yourself to a model of 48111. If I win the lottery this weekend I'll get you one!

Yes thank you Mike you are so kind . Anyway good morning everyone, I have bought off Modelfair before and I must admit they are ok, I will have a look on their site this morning and see whats left.
I do have a few things for sale on e bay at the moment, all railway related, but to be quite honest I am going to start "cooling" it a bit with that system, I have not been absolutely overjoyed for a while. But yes MODELFAIR are ok.
