Depth can be increased to about 12" by unzipping the outer zip. It has an internal zip pocket on the lid.

Model Railway / Train set stuff (Bolton le Sands LA5)
Gifted
*Fair Chance Policy Been clearing out the loft: There's a small collection of OO gauge railway bits and pieces (much more "train set" than "model railway" - still in usable condition: 2 locos: 1 "Percy" (as in Thomas the Tank Engine and friends) 1 other, similar but red. Both are 0-4-0, both show signs of use and abuse by the kids, but both seem to run OK. 3 carriages - "Annie" and "Clarabell" (Thomas, again) + 1 "other" which has been painted brown (was originally bright red with blue chassis - I guess the kids decided it looked too "juvenile"!) 2 Thomas-style wagons (i.e. with faces), 4 others painted brown (again, were originally brightly coloured) and one unmolested livestock wagon (I think). The locos and rolling stock were all Hornby. A couple of buildings at suitable scale - the Bell Inn and a cottage. 2 sections of "tunnel" (went with the multi-coloured train set), a few farm animals and several trees. There's also a small selection of track - 24 curves (13 Hornby, 11 Lima) and 6 straights - all Lima, but varied lengths. There's a Hornby level crossing, and an Airfix kit for an oil wagon - I can't be certain that its all there - but it probably is. Finally, there's a very basic Hornby controller, which seems to work OK. There might be one or two other minor bits and pieces . . . All to go together, please - hopefully someone can get some benefit from it. *Fair Chance Policy: I'll wait before choosing a recipient to give more people a chance to reply. Collect from Bolton-Le-Sands.

Windsurfer (Bolton le Sands LA5)
Gifted
Beginner's windsurfer - mid-1980's Bic Melody. Not used in years, but complete, as far as I know. Owned from new, and little use. Comes with 2 sails - the original 6.4m2 Bic, and a smaller, fully battened (I think) 5m2 Tushingham (that I got second-hand and never used). 2-piece fibreglass mast, dagger board and fin and other miscellaneous bits are present. Now the bad bits: I've given it a wash off - but I haven't been into the sail bags - the sails should be OK - but can't promise! Any bits of shock cord that formed parts of the rig probably need replacing by now I might have some kicking about, but not sure. The decorative transfers have mostly fallen off, the board itself has been stored out in the open, and there's a split along one of the chines. I've tried to show this in one of the photos. It's probably fixable with minimal effort - but I'm not going to try. If you fancy having a go, drop me a note and come and pick it up from Bolton-Le-Sands. You'll need a roof rack or a van, and straps or ropes to attach everything securely. If no takers, it'll be off to the tip, which seems a shame!
