Australian Hobby Pox Report

Image
To all at MGRS, I spent some time  hospital recently and while I was there my good wife Marj bought the most recent copy of the Australian Rails In The Garden magazine to look at, always very interesting, but on the last page were some For Sale ads, Locos of course. One of these   was for an Accucraft Decauville 0 4 0 loco Unused, Still In The Box, asking price was very reasonable, soooo using my little Flintstones Vintage mobile phone I contacted the seller and arranged to get the loco, we sent the payment for the loco the day after I got out of hospital, So I have say that I am also a victim of the Dreaded Hobby Pox.
