Oliver: what happened?

Rokman if you fail to get it I'm going to be in possession of two Olivers soon, albeit both in need of some attention, but I've always managed to get them working so far so if you fail drop me a line...

Oh. Great find(s) Nigels. Ripley sent me a link to one and will probably get one, depends on certain factors.

I just found an Oliver! hopefully I will not be outbid and he will be coming from Britan to join my fleet! He will be welcome on my layout. He is a little worn according to the pics. Now I just need a Toad.

you better sit in front of the computer when the bidding period is almost over. usually people will try to outbid in the last minute. It happened to me on numerous occasions.

If that's the one I'm looking at, it looks more than a little worn. In particular a chunk of the front buffer beam is broken off.

They really do come up fairly regularly on Ebay UK, if it were me I'd be patient and pass on this one, considering that you'll probably pay more in shipping than you will on buying one.

Yes, that's the one. He'll do for me. Good idea, but I forgot the password for eBay, thanks a lot, Remember Password settings.

Guess what I bought? An Oliver!!! New in box!!! It is due the week after my birthday.

Good for you Rokman

Good to hear Rokman, you been after him for ages haven't you? Did it cost a lot?

I have been after one a soon as I had heard of it. I paid about 90 dollars for it new in the box. That's a very good deal for something of it's rarity.
