I asked Barry this question at Bristol. Part of his reason is that there is a limit to the amount of space one can accommodate models, and he is still building more. Also, the insurance on them must be considerable. I do agree that the prices are high. Quite how one puts a value on them I don't know. Perhaps that wasn't the best venue, and one of the London ones with a more International audience might have been better. alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.alanstepney.info Model Engineering, Steam Engine, and Railway technical pages. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Dayman" <jeffdayman@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <modeleng@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, October 25, 2004 8:15 PM Subject: [modeleng] Re: Honiton auction Hi Clif, Anyone know why they're for sale?
