We'd all love getting boxes like that stuffed to the brim, a great haul.

Wow what a fantastic find and for 120 pounds that's not bad at all! and everything is in really good condition too.

[@Codbotherer]

I know! I'd bid a lot more!!!

[@marcdempsey5850]

Well there’s a mystery box worth looking into, love the way it had the second cardboard inside on top… what a reveal. Fantastic selection, looking forward to the ticket to ride update. All best Marc

[@Codbotherer]

That totally threw me, but does add to it!! Filmed them all now - you'll notice a few updates to the layout too if you watch them Marc, big and small changes. One more addition to do, maybe this week, then a proper update video 😉 I could do with adding more foliage too now.

[@tonyrobinson362]

I love my diesel shed layout but? I could not work on my railway with a house that looks like it needs some serious attention before playing with trains.

[@Codbotherer]

Well you'll be happy to know that that room.has had the ceiling replaced, the damp issue on the side wall resolved, the chimney breast resolved (as much as it can be from my side, the neighbour's house causing the issue), the whole house repainted inside and I now have tenants in there while my new place is being fully done from the ground up and a massive loft conversion which will see the creation of an epic 1981 railway setup...so I can play with trains again. Weird issue to comment on tbh. Can't see the relevance in the slightest if I'm honest. Still, at least you didn't suggest I shave before making my videos 😁

[@BucksRhino22]

The locos is worth double that and the track and the builds also the rolling stock is a bonus you got the real deal there

[@Codbotherer]

Yeah, crazy isn't it!

[@jasonlee3247]

Skip to 2:00 and thank me later.

[@Codbotherer]

Oh I dunno, it's just me opening a box. I wouldn't watch it at all 🤣

Where did you go fishing?

[@Codbotherer]

About ten miles north on an inshore wreck, chucking lures at bass 😎

[@carltonbirds]

@@Codbotherer and did you catch?

[@Codbotherer]

I always catch! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5mbmK2GgdCgqac

[@West_Coast_Mainline]

If any of those blue diesels are deemed excess, I’m avalanche

[@Codbotherer]

All boxed away at the moment while I have building work done. I'll be ebaying the surplus when the new layout is built

[@mynamesnotdave695]

Wow, I'm new to your channel, subscribed natuarally when your parcel contained one of my hobbies and you metioned fishing my 2nd hobby.. My first impressions.. No rake with the seagul? No maintenance sheets and poor quality boxes. Three good quality rolling stock. A Triang bo-bo set. A random controller & a Class 8 diesel shunter.. My resale would be £180-£200. Tell me you paid no more than £150 including postage and I'll be impressed?

[@Codbotherer]

£115 posted!!! Bargain 😀 welcome to the channel - there's loads to sink your teeth into!

[@mynamesnotdave695]

My money for maximum profit would be the Bo-Bo set.. They don't pop up that often!! Not in that configuration. Seagull, Mallard, Gresley... Ten a penny. O specifically only collect Rovex Hornby so your parcel is right up my street. I said £180-£200/ Double that at a toy fair.✌

[@Codbotherer]

@@mynamesnotdave695 How much would you like to offer me for the Bo-Bo set? :-)

[@mynamesnotdave695]

@@Codbotherer Complete bundle £210

[@Codbotherer]

@@mynamesnotdave695 Oh I want the Seagull and some of the other stuff. The Bo-Bo set I'm willing to part with

[@MaboPete]

What a brilliant buy with surprises galore! I wonder what your blood pressure reading was while you opened that big box. Diesels are my thing having worked on the footplate on BR so the A4 would have gone back on ebay (lol)

[@Codbotherer]

It was racing a bit! The diesels will go back on eBay to claw some or most of it back! The set is almost complete too - just missing the coupling section, part of the buffer and the cardboard tunnel and mouths. I've videod them all individually, set and the diesels coming tonight, A4 already posted. Take a look - what's even better is that they are all pristine and run beautifully!

[@Codbotherer]

First one, the set: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpCYaK18o6aGjrs

[@MaboPete]

@@Codbotherer I'll have a look on ebay then. It looked like a Class 45...?

[@Codbotherer]

@@MaboPete types are 08 shunter, 31 brushless and 37 (I see those here at night from time to time). Will be a little while before they hit eBay as I always wait until I get an offer to list for £1 max fees - but I'm quite happy to take offers on private sales if you like? The seagull is the only one I wouldnt sell. The type 31 will go as a set, I've put it together and it's just missing the tunnel mouths/card, rerailing ramp and paperwork. Each can be seen running on other videos posted last night!

[@MaboPete]

@@Codbotherer Yes, you have to watch those ebay fees... it is a smashing set, and really enjoyed the individual video, but I am 'limited' as such to BR blue, me being based at Stratford. The 08 shunter and the individual wagons would be better in this instance. Would you please give your fans the nod when the items go onto ebay?

[@petersneesby6396]

Looks great what you got in that box I must say how much did you pay for the whole lot may I ask ?

[@Codbotherer]

£122 in total (£15 for postage). Not bad at all I thought!

[@victorgauci8668]

Next time can you wear a school boy outfit and jump with excitement at each stage? Your views would go through the roof!!! Your videos always male me smile!! Take care!

[@Codbotherer]

That would a bit too tiktok for me Victor. My flabber is quite gasted at how this video has had so many views so quickly! 3500 in days, I don't know how many recent videos I'd need to scroll back to match that figure - and I'm only opening a box 😂

@@Codbotherer did you ever get to follow main train Eastport at all? He's relaunched his channel having put so much work in and not getting the views. Here's the link for the new one. kzbin.info/door/ZtWlKW5ZkbX5AKvqewPkWg unfortunately if you never caught him before you may have missed his background. So this next link is for peaks 47 another railway channel. This link is how they helped in promoting the channel.
