Hi,
Yes, I've seen this on ebay. Sounds a very good offer. I bought my Papyrus from ebay, supposedly used once only and at a good price. Whoever had used it had used the wrong water (seemed like tap water) and the whole thing wouldn't go after two steams. Thanks to the wonderful people at Hornby, they serviced it (at no expense - they are wonderful) and it has worked perfectly ever since. Personally, I would say it is worth a gamble because even if you do have problems Hornby's customer service is right behind you. Good luck. You won't regret joining the live steam fraternity. It is addictive.
