Here will be the whole setup, track, rolling stock and locos. Some items are of particular interest (collector's items?) due to their age and superb condition. This belonged to a rail-fan and Model Engineer, and as far as I can tell was never permanently set up, certainly never outside. It has come to me for disposal, ALL receipts will be returned to the family. Collection, if at all possible, is far preferred to postage (persons so doing are very welcome to bring a battery/steam powered loco for a run on the T.V.B.L at the same time. I'm sure the kettle can be cajoled into service) [Post code ST4, 5 mins from J15 M6]. Reciprocal arrangements might be made by agreement. I don't have time to put it all up at once so intend to start with the locos, then the rolling stock and then the track, but will continue as time allows. I hope this stands well with the Mods and they can accept the bend in the rules of No of items.
I will do my best to describe the condition of each item though some details may be lacking as I'm not an LGB man, so I expect many questions through the Conversations/Private Messages system (top right, first icon next your mini avatar), rather than here in the post, as it might cause it to get a bit bloated. If it subsequently shows that something could be described better I will happily alter the listings to suit.
We are not allowed to auction items on here so I have (I hope) set prices that can be adjusted if you really do think them unreasonable, again through Conversations, but please remember the reason for the sale, this is also on the basis that I cant go up, and I've found accurate valuation difficult for various reasons.
Note : All items have only a 4 digit catalogue numbers commensurate with their age, and also have the old style couplings, unless otherwise stated.
2020 Stainz. This is probably the gem of the collection (collector's item?). It is an early Growler, without skates, it comes with a slightly damaged buff coloured box. The loco is probably in as near pristine condition as could be found for one of it's type and age. There are just about signs on the wheels that it has been run (tested?). The paint has worn off the tip of the driver's elbow where it has rubbed on the box, other than that I can find no fault. I have tested it and it runs and the lights work. £100.
2060 C class Shoema. Good condition, a little dusty. All hand rails complete, small damage to the edges of the exhaust vent top. Wear to both skates (through the plating). Obviously fairly well used, but seemingly not abused. It has NO box. Tested and a runner. Lights work. £85
2070 U class. 0-6-2 Tank Loco. Generally good condition, no skates, a little grubby underneath showing some use. Driver present. Slight damage to front snow shovel. Needs new traction tyre (gone hard). One front lamp not working (bulb?). Tested and a runner. Comes in a yellow box. £130 Sold
2075 "Kleine Dicke". 0-4-0 Tank Loco. Again, in lovely condition. Has seen some use, shown by the skates, in fact if it wasn't for that I'd say pristine. Both piston-rod guides intact. Comes in a yellow box. £80 Sold.
