Today I acquired...........

[25.4_mechanic]

Hayling island Wednesday beach car boot sale today.
An unusual box, so I carried it all along the beach in the heat because..I don't know

Nice little shelf/hanging cupboard.

The sign saying "Don't talk to the driver" has nothing to do with it, that used to hang in a railcar of about this sort

where driver and passengers actually share the same room.

When I was a child you could buy ticktes from the driver ....

... but only when at a standstill! - then the sentence would read:
"Während der Fahrt nicht mit dem Triebfahrzeugführer sprechen" --> "Do not speak to the driver during the drive".

EDIT:
I just remembered a funny detail of these railbuses:
The passenger compartment resembled, due to its simplicity, omnibuses or trolleybuses.
As a little extra, the backrests of the seats could be folded over, for example to sit in the direction of travel or to accommodate a small group vis-à-vis, as required.

When we boarded the rail bus/railcar shortly before the final stop against our intended direction of travel, e.g. to escape the weather earlier, it was always delicious how everyone flipped the backrests of the benches into the other position without any effort to sit forward before the return journey.

Thank you Carsten, so someone just added the sign.

These are included too, two BA ones which are good for my small engine hobby etc.

One Die has degrees on it Being an ex electrical person I have no idea. It has been filed on the edge in two places.

My old Shark crash helmet's lining was disintegrating, so splashed out on a new flip front Shuberth:

Think @Hood s influence again after reading his comments on his Schuberth!

[My Old Landy]

I wonder if @doubleboost still has that pulse jet...

I was wondering how to graft the 4.6l V8 out of my Range Rover onto it, the pulse jet is far more inviting!!

I also came into some money.

Plus something to keep it in.

It is not all wood.
It is a thin covering over a rusty metal box.

But, will the contents pay for the repairs?

Failing that.
I could sell this bit of scrap brass.
If I would.

WW1 German Shell.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I admit it was a lot of stuff.
But it was in one box, in a Charity shop, all was not going to be sold.

I gave them £50.

Why?
