Hornby Dublo Commonwealth of Australia Tank Loco

!

Offered by Hornby Dublo as a starter set export model this loco had a brief production run from 1964 onwards with this example being in very fine undamaged near mint A- condition with all the evidence pointing to a loco which has had little use. Tested and a good runner. The challenge would be to find a better example.

Triang R140 Home Signal Gantry

!
Complete and undamaged with original box in excellent B+ condition having all end flaps intact. There is no inner packaging. A useful accessory for any modeller and very collectable in this undamaged condition.

Triang OO/HO Badge from the 1950's

!
An original Triang plastic lapel badge from the late 1950's in red with yellow print and in mint condition. Impossible to find a better example of this sought after badge!

Hornby Dublo Engine Shed pre war timber version

!
An interesting engine shed with the rare green roof. Missing the Dublo logo at the one end (there is a mark where it was present) and with some wear along roof vent edges otherwise with all glazing present and in overall excellent condition. This would be perfect for those modelling a pre war Hornby Dublo layout.

Triang R86 Telegraph Poles set of 6Nr

!

Set of 6 diecast telegraph poles in very good original condition and now hard to find in this sort of condition with the odd small paint chip that you are not really going to notice from normal viewing distances and retaining their bright gloss appearance. A useful Triang accessory that features in most if not all train set box cover images.

Gaiety GWR Class 57XX Tank Loco 3 rail Dublo conversion

!
A interesting diecast loco from the 1950's in excellent to near mint almost unblemished condition based on a Triang Hornby chassis which has been converted to run on 3 rail and is a good runner. This example was formerly part of the collection of Michael Foster, the author of Hornby Dublo Trains, and has Hornby Dublo style couplers. For those Dublo operators looking for something different. 

Triang R264 Grand Victorian Suspension Bridge MIB

!
This is very probably the finest example of this bridge that you will find and even better includes a Rovex Scale Models Ltd invoice for a replacement 56388 orange coloured right hand suspension unit making this example unique! Contents are complete and undamaged including all packaging with the box having tape damage on one end and with residue tape in place otherwise unmarked and in near mint A- condition. You could almost believe the box was new! The only better example would be one that has been stored in a shop  that has been in a time warp for 45 years and then you would not have the original Rovex invoice! A very collectable and unique example.

Triang R284 Set of Coach Figures

!
5Nr mint coach figures from the early 1960's in the original Triang sealed pack.

Triang TT Badge from the 1950's

!
An original Triang plastic lapel badge in yellow with red print from the late 1950's and in mint condition. Impossible to find a better example of this sought after badge!

Mainline 937124 GWR 60ft Collett all 3rd Coach 1116

!
Chocolate and cream with number 1116 in mint condition in near mint box from 1983. These coaches were the last to be developed by Mainline and set a standard for detail that even today is hard to beat! Very collectable.
