    im sat here daydreaming about what id buy IF i won the lottery. Id like something railway related, hopefull steam, but then i got thinking. If i won this money, where would i look to find out whats for sale, if i want to buy a car id go to autotrader, but where do you go for locos etc?

    pure flight of fancy but it would be interesting to see whats for sale and how much


    regards D

    Some of the preserved lines around the country also have locos on the books that are available for sale.

    Well if you buy enough SLL shares I suppose that's pretty close to buying a loco. There are still plenty available!

    A lot of the time it's word of mouth. If one railway has a loco for sale then word tends to get around to any other railways that might be interested.

    No. There was some discussion of their possibly selling one of the Standard 4 tanks but that seems to have been discounted now.

    It is Bryan - but not ex-BR! Any expressions of interest to your near name-sake, the Trust Secretary Bryan Draper c/o Pickering Park Street!

    Which if you read the link corrects the error to say 3803 is for sale not 3802.

    What a streak of fate....as i was sitting here wondering how best to advertise a loco for slae!

    The Middleton Railway Trust is pleased to offer for sale its Bagnall 0-4-0 2702 (not quite a GWR 2-8-0 I must admit!). The loco is in need of a major overhaul after running for several years in the early days of preservation in Leeds. Interested parties should contact me off list at JonL116@aol.com for further details and photographs.
    A rare opportunity to aquire a real Stafford gem, Bagnall-Price valve gear and all.
    Thanks for your attention ladies and gents!
