The thing isn’t mine [definitely not EBT in 1:20]. I’m doing it as a favor to a guy in Oz who desperately wanted it (Facebook G-scale swap-and-shop) but the seller refused to ship it overseas. The owner had it shipped to me and is paying for shipment onwards. I’m just trying to save him a few $$.
I did that for a buddy of mine in AU. He had ordered a Challenger from Loco Louies near where my Dad lives and I offered to get it for him. He wanted it shipped by USPS so I took it up to the Post Office to see what it cost. Unfortunately they only shipped boxes under 120" over all and this thing was about 140" . I ended up splitting the box it half, engine in one box, tender in the other and shipping it that way. It arrived in OZ safely and Grant was tickled pink…(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
I have no idea now how much it cost. That was about 15 years ago.
