or other articulated unit. My Pen Pal is in the UK and models American steam from
the great era. He is looking for a Big Boy or Challenger, but can't afford a lot
because he is taxed even worse than us. Anyone got a lead on something
I will pass it forward. We are looking to get around shipping costs to the
UK by having his brother-in-law take it back in his luggage. Any leads?

Zelda The Swordsman and I will be visiting you soon,
Microbusss. Catford, I am blissfully unaware what
is available on the other side of the pond. Maybe
Micro could spare one.

Image of a Riverossi Mallet churning her way across the wastelands of El Paso.
Club property taken at the EP Train Club last night, warming up in her future
challenge against JNXT's Veranda. Raysopac: I sent my Pen Pal a note of inquiry
what he might be willing to pay, in farthings, and am waiting for him to reply.
Thanks so much for offering. He is a retired gentleman living on a pension.

We intend to ship by way of the luggage of a relative who will be visiting in DC next
month, thus avoiding extreme postal fees.

Fortunately I will never have to worry about making ends meet on a pension as my stockbroker is driving the car of my dreams. As long as my health holds out I will
be doddering about with my cane until I am 90. No retirement in store for this Tycohead.
