Hornby Dublo SR Closed Van

Roof would benefit from gentle clean and with isolated body marking to sides easily renovated retaining a bright scuff free appearance. One side has a diagonal dent that no doubt can be eased out. Overall structurally sound good B and an easiliy renovated example of this hard to find wagon.

Hornby Dublo Southern 0-6-2 Tank Loco 2594 replica
!
This is a mint limited production replica of the Hornby Dublo Southern tank loco professionally produced in 1996 utilising a donor Dublo loco and including limited edition certificate and mint replica box. The running gear was completely renovated during production and the minor dust on the loco body suggests that this example was used for shelf display purposes by the former owner. Superb workmaship!

Bachmann BR Lord Nelson Class Loco Sir Walter Raleigh
!
This example in BR green produced in 1996 is complete in mint condition in a near mint box with instructions.

Lima NSE Class 73 Loco 73109 Battle of Britain 50th Anniversary
!
In blue revised Network SouthEast livery with fitted etched brass nameplates this is a very well done airbrush repaint and relivery of this Lima Class 73 loco in the mint A original box of the donor loco. This was only ever produced as a limited edition model in this livery by Lima and this example would compare very favourably with the original if not better it! 

Hornby Dublo 0-6-2 Tank loco with coal S J Engineering relivery
!
This is the final Dublo 3 rail example with coal in the tender and nickel silver wheels. Missing front coupler and with well done brush applied repaint/relivery giving the loco the unique look of a private owner example overall appearancer as its stands excellent B+ unboxed with no paint loss as such and with transfer work for the most part intact. This is extremely unlikely to be replicated as original examples of this loco with the late body are now sought after and so the new owner will almost certainly have something unique to operate with.

Hornby Dublo DA455 Through Station
!
Early example station with screw fixing (not rivet) and white platform edge lining with no noticable paint loss would benefit from gentle clean overall excellent to near mint B+/A- in fair B- box having wear and split lid corner and with 1 end label part missing

Bradshaw Art Deco Signal Box model scale timber building

A superb timber model building size 245 x 68 x 90mm high with minor green paint loss otherwise complete undamaged and representative of a mainline station signal box complete with interior detail produced in the 1950's by Bradshaw of Hove, England and is ideal for any large vintage Dublo or Triang layout.

Triang RS14 Transcontinental Diesel Loco Passenger Train Set
!

The 1960 Transcontinental train set containing a double ended diesel, 4 passnger coaches  and an oval of Series 3 track, instructiions and servicing scheme booklet. The items of paperwork are incorrect for the set otherwise are the correct period and unmarked. The track is complete and includes the power clip.  The lcoo and 4 passenger cars have been run otherwise have an exceptional crisp mint A appearance with both lights working on the loco and all whiskers and lining printwork 100% on all rolling stock items  The Box has a complete tray and inserts with the lid having split corners and sides and tape repairs and an unmarked picture average C. A set with exceptional contents up to exhibition standard. You rarely find contents like this.

Overseas shipping surcharges will apply to this set with shipping overseas being in excess of £50 due to the box size.

Triang Hornby R725 Battle Space Command Car D-778
!
This was produced in limited numbers for 1 year only in 1967. This example includes 7 commando soldiers, instructions, and khaki pick up and drop apparatus. There are no khaki mail bags included and standard red example will work if these are available. They could always be painted khaki. The pick up apparatus has damaged track fixing clips otherwise the remaining contents appear undamaged and complete. So minor work required to what is basically a very sound and crisp example complete with original Battle Space stickers and apparatus. The box is complete with tears in 1 corner and along the end flap tuck in. The box printwork is faded but still legible. An almost complete example in a rare box overall excellent B+ in a good B box.
