THIS FANTASTIC DMU SET SPEAKS FOR ITSELF!

AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR THE MODERN SCOTRAIL COLLECTOR/MODELLER!

I started collecting DMU stock from about 8 months ago, while recovering from a long term illness and having a lot of time on my hands at home. I bought this on e-bay late last year as I had set up a project of collecting DMU’s in a kind of ‘historical chronology’, starting with the 1960’s railcars and finishing up with the Virgin Bombardier 220. However, I soon got hooked on the First ScotRail ‘Barbie’ addiction! I could not resist having more than one of these!

(The picture of the opened 158 is one I am saving for myself. Yours will definitely be wrapped new.)

I had grandiose visions of building a large Scottish station complex, something like Aberdeen (going on Waverley!) and I eventually bought 4 of these 158s! In the end, after a lot of soul searching, I have finally decided to go for a 1959/60 (pre-Beeching) era layout. So this splendid DMU needs to go to a good home! The postage on this unit is a bit of a bummer! Once it is (properly) packed, it just tips over 1kgs. I can’t get round that I’m afraid. I take the safe delivery of your items VERY seriously! That makes it a genuine £8.25p via Royal Mail Special Delivery, I only add just £0.25p for packing materials. But as this is a genuine sale and I really am a nice bloke,  I will subsidise the postage by a couple of quid!

Please check my feedback. You the buyer can be assured of a First Class Service. You will not be disappointed! I will take questions, but not offers! Please read my conditions. This is an ebay sale only! Many thanks for your time and all the best if you decide to bid.
