Crestworth traction engine ebay

[Tribble]

I've just spotted an early Crestworth traction engine on Ebay, it has the metal traction engine not plastic.
If it was a UK seller, I'd probably snap it up but the seller's in USA and I'd rather not risk it getting damaged in transit or pay the $150 postage and the possibility of getting stung with import tax.
Hopefully one of you lovely GooHeads would like it for your collection?

Tribble, thank you for the head-up on this one

No problem Claude, glad to be of help. Always nice to see a rarity going to a loving collector.
Can you upload some nice pictures of it when it arrives please, the Ebay ones didn't really do it justice imho.

They're very rare Christian, if you've not seen one before, here's a youtube video of a Mk1 and Mk2 in action.
