Forgot about Rails of Sheffield! Thanks for that

Hi, Looking for some advise/help. Just moved house and during the move i found a load of models, i've sold the Units (Chiltern 168 and Lima RR 156 with light kit) but I also have a Bachmann Model of 47406 which I think is a limited edition one. What would be the best place to sell it? Loathed...

Got off and on a train there on Tuesday, has to be the Crewe-Shrewsbury local which was a 175 compared to the Milford Haven which rattled through just after formed of a 150....

Depending how the CoronaVirus goes it might not be an ICE1 since they are all parked up at the moment -...

The Czech Railway app is good if you are in that part of the world, shows all the stops, current location, formation etc. Can also buy tickets. https://www.cd.cz/en/typy-jizdenek/jak-koupit-jizdenku/-28095/
