Posties been againYe old posties has been again with my new toys
Luckily the girlfriend was at work and knows nothing about my delivery 
The first one to be unwraped was a boxed Cyldon 13/3
Its in remarkable condition for its age and has a lovely patina on the boiler
Its had a full restoration today, (I wiped it over with a oily rag) it looks like its spent most of its life in the box
Hope you guys enjoy the pics, they have all been optimized for download. 
The second of my new arivals is a boxed Meccano steam engine 1929 version
Again its in great condition and the boiler has a lovely patina
Its also had a full restoration today (its been wiped over with a oily rag)
And finaly my two bad boys together

Thx Mike the Cyldon was around £100 so not too bad
Although a unboxed Cyldon went for about £47 earlier in the week
So maybe not such a bargain after all
I,m not sure I will have the Meccano engiine for very long Mike
As I,ve just been offered a 1" inch scale Minnie traction engine for £1500
So I,m looking through my engines for a few sacrifices to hopefully fund the Minnie
