A 4 year-old boy bids to buy a real Train.

The equivalent of £15,000 was bid by A four-year-old boy to buy a real train from public transport officials in New Zealand.
Metlink, the
public transport arm of Greater Wellington Regional Council, thought its dreams had come true when it received an opening bid of $29,990 for the old train.
But it turned out the bid on the Trade me auction website was from an enthusiastic child whose mother was alarmed at the prospect of owning a full-sized two-carriage train.
"I'm really sorry," the mum, whose username is smiley134 wrote in an email.
"My four-year-old was playing and placed a bid, I don't actually want to buy the train, can my bid please be removed?"
Metlink customer services manager Zelda MacKenzie replied: "For a moment I thought I was falling in love with you, smiley! But then you blew it all."
