I promised a while back that’s I’d revisit the most recent Great Central Railwayana auction and see what the posters on offer actually went for.  A course of action necessitated by the fact that railwayana auctions never, it seems, publish an estimate of what they think a poster is going to sell for.  This sometimes [...]

Hurrah, an auction; it feels as though we haven’t had one of those for ages.  Even better, an interesting auction too.  It’s Great Central Railwayana (9 April, Stoneleigh Showground, just in case you’re in the area).  As it’s a railwayana sale, there is of course a lot of this kind of thing, here by Claude [...]
