Hi Morné

You've successfully replied to a thread, and thus posted a message! No problem.

As fot the Peco single slip - big problem! They are rare, expensive and not frequently used. I do have one and two double slips but they are spoken for...

What do you need it for?

Hi Morne,

Can't help you with a single slip, but if you are interested, I do have a code 55 double slip that is surplus to my needs.

Cheers,
Steve

Thx for the replies, guys.
Its for a long term project. I want to build a station replica of Swartkops down in the Eastern Cape, just out PE. Ive grown up there as a kid for almost 30yrs. The station area was my playground as a little boy.
On one of the station towards PE, there are 2x double slips in serie and on the other end there are also 2x double slips - not in serie. One slip is a must for its purpose, but the other (double) slip is not really of use. A single slip is what its suppose to be.
I have 3x d/slips already and thought of bringing the 4th one in as a s/slip. But if I could get a d/slip, it wouldnt matter. First choice, s/slip though...
Regards, Morné.

Morne, I can swap Steve for the double slip and send the single your way - make a price with Steve and we'll sort it out this side. Where are you based by the way?

Forgot to mention, my single slip is/was used...

See the pic below - the one at the top of the yard near the toothpicks in the purity bottle - that's him!

Hi Guys,
Okay, a little bit confuse now. Is the s/slip available...or can it be swopped with a d/slip!? Who is swopping who for what? (Sorry if it sounds rude)

Morne, if you buy the double slip off Steve, you can swap it for my single slip.

Where are you based, or did I miss it somewhere?

Ok cool. I can buy from Steve and then you and I make the swop!?

Thx BigEd. Shall appreciate your input to chat to him.
What is PM?

PM is personal message. Look to the left below my name, there are 3 little icons.

The first on left is a little half life man. Think its for ICQ or MSN.

The middle one is to email someone.

The one on the right is to PM. Its like an email, but internal to our forum.

Hi BigEd.
I have sent Steve a PM, but wouldnt know where to look in if he replied.
Maybe he will also read this msg and just direct me where to go look.
