Title: Live steam GNR Atlantic on e-bay
Post by: MikeWilliams on May 24 2018 23:15
A Carson model which looks just "right" to me, though I am certainly no expert!

At just over £1500 not a bad price, even with no certificate, but it is in the USA.

Apparently still for sale, still looks nice and he is open to offers.

The B/L Book (by Roland Fuller) doesn't list a G3 Carson GNR Atlantic in the period between 1905 - 1914 although it does list a NBR Atlantic in G3.

Doesn't mean it's not a "Carsons for B/L" - as Carsons continued to work with Winteringhams (a B/L satellite company) beyond that period but records then apparently became somewhat vaguer (e.g. during/after WW1).

Having been withdrawn from ebay, it is back on again.

This is still there for sale and under £1500.  Seems cheap to me but maybe the cost and risk of shipping from the USA puts people off?

Hey, Id love to have it but I cant throw that kind of money on something I cant even build myself.
Though it would simplify the shipping staying in the US.

Know the feeling Trevor, but I've seen several of the more common Experiments for upwards of £2000, admitedly some (not all) with boiler certificates.  And the GNR Atlantic is a lot harder to find.
