Il Grifone Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Not sure about this one, but the Hornby wagon was a free gift if you bought a locomotive. Mine came with a book. It's been sitting in its box ever since. I think it's worth even less than the Peco one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every kid in my primary school got a terrible and cheaply printed one for the Silver Jubilee in 1977. The printing on mine hadn't worked terribly well, resulting in Her Maj apparently having leprosy. Ironically, that probably made it somewhat rarer whilst being no more valuable or desirable. Dunno what happened to it, but the skip when we cleared my late mother's house seems a likely destination. We were all given a souvenir glass for the Coronation. Mine is sitting in a cupboard somewhere. It must be one of the last survivors.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get them, we (along with pupils from all the other local schools) had to sit in the local cinema in the front row while a film of the event played about 6' in front of us. I've never been the same since - or rather my eyes haven't! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 For the Silver Jubilee we got a silver sugar spoon* and a coin. https://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop/memorabilia-and-ephemera/memorabilia/hm-co-silver-jubilee-sugar-spoon-hd_100361136 * Really stainless steel and I think was sponsored by the sugar manufacturers Jason 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium TheQ Posted October 21, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 21, 2019 I was in the RAF by the time of the silver jubilee, but not long enough (2 years) to get the Jubilee medal, then I was out again before the next one. no gongs for me... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffnut Thorston Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 There are some interesting PECO Wonderful Wagons in this lot... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265153903656?hash=item3dbc677c28:g:W2oAAOSwKYZgl5HE 3 days to go at posting time... It looks like someone has obtained a large collection of railway stuff, and doesn’t really know that much about it. Kits being listed with the instructions in another lot, locos and tenders split. Some good stuff, if only it had been properly sorted out before listing.... 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller's name suggests to me that is from a deceased estate through a house clearance trader who has broken the collection into lots of a reasonable size to allow so postage isn't OTT. Listing individual wagons would be too much effort, and if you're a trader you're not going to spend too long trying to work out what tender goes with what. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This at least confirms a wood bodied 'Stafford Salt Works' wagon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
