''Just'' caught the end of this evenings BBC 1 's The Bidding Room program. There is an interesting roundy train set on offer & snapped up. Probable never made it as far as Ebay ! The other viewer will be in his / her loft now Ho. its the last item at the end of the show Thanks Peter We can look forward now to all sorts of ancient Jouef rubbish* being listed this coming weekend. Crumbs, it wasn't even a Playcraft by Jouef set! There was no mention of the quality of Jouef brand products improving no end when Hornby took over the label. And - could nobody in the studio know how to put all the wheels on the track? The number of close-up views of the wagons off the rails was amazing. *There were a few good items produced by Jouef at the time of production of the set in the programme, but not many! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front body screw in the footplate is from 1961 on. The brass safety valves were changed to the smoother type, without the two ridges, from 1962...

It's weird, but it kinda works? Apparently it was adapted by the vendor's late father.

The other viewer will be in his / her loft now Ho. its the last item at the end of the show Thanks Peter I saw one of the "Bidding Room" programmes by accident, as far as I'm concerned it is an extremely irritation format, where one of the items on offer was a Hornby No.40 clockwork train set from the mid 50s.

Seen a lot worse.... When I was in the USA I bought a very-short carriage which used a 6-wheel bogie as its chassis. It has a veranda at the end - the sort that presidents used to use in the days when they made their "whistle-stop" political speeches. I wonder if anyone does a 3D print of Abe Lincoln or Donald Trump in HO? 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
