Some adages come to mind. "This has to be seen to be believed" or "Is it real or is it Memorex"!
Beautiful workmanship! Nice job lads!

These are truly spectacular locomotives. The article mentioned there is worldwide interest in the auction so I wonder if any of the models will end up stateside?
Thanks for posting the link, Big Jim.

how does one pronounce this?
Just amazing! Too bad they will probably not all stay together.
All the best,

I asked my friend from England that sent me the link. Here is his respnse:
"It is pronounced ‘Buc-clure’ saying it quickly with the two ‘c-c’ said together like Buc-lure. It is from the Celtic language and said like the anglicised spelling of ‘McClure’. "
Everything went for WELL over the price guides, plus a 22% buyers premium, plus tax!
The price guide on the "Duchess" was 30,000 - 50,000 pounds. Hammer price 140,000pounds w/bp+tax + 170,800 pounds.
