I had arranged with Peter to bring some Gresley bogies to Telford for my CPL set and he said would I like to see his test etch underframes to which I said certainly.<\/p>\n<p>It turned out that not only had he done a test etch for the underframes but also for the bodies as well but he had taken them so far an then popped them aside. Having had a look at them I asked since he hadn&#8217;t touched them for quite some time, if he would sell them &#8216;as is&#8217; and a deal was struck.<\/p>\n<p>This is what I got for the money:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_6903.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full
