RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted March 2, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 2, 2021 I am struggling to see what is worth thirty five sheets plus postage here unless the first unhelpful photograph shows the margarine tub which is dated 2015 is some sort of rare collectible? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Job-Lot-Mixed-Model-Railway-Accessories-IN-3-TRAYS-FROM-MODEL-MAKER-LOT-NO-2/363310241286?hash=item5496fa5606:g:e4AAAOSw3j1gLBeE One drawer of stuff looks like RC model car wheels to me as well. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffnut Thorston Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Lurking in those trays are parts from a Heljan GWR footbridge, parts from the Airfix Bailey Bridge (green girders from the sides...), The Airfix Signal Box and parts from the Airfix Footbridge kit, parts from a Signal Gantry Kit, probably a line side hut, roof visible inside the signal box...) some Heljan kit glazing, Hornby station steps, seat, and platform accessories, buffer stop and Hydraulic Buffer Stop (and parts of another ), ex Tri-ang buffer stop, Hornby Distant signal post and ladder, level crossing gates and other LC parts, telegraph poles, at least one line side hut (ex Tri-ang), a packing crate from an ex Airfix GMR Lowmac, Airfix packing crates trolleys and figures, Merit figures and oil drums, Merit, or PECO coal bins, two sets of petrol pumps (Possibly Wills?), a small, possibly metal, water tower. There is also a bag of tyres of the sort used on Matchbox vehicles at one time. One tray does seem to be mainly vehicle parts, mainly wheels. I can’t see anything really exciting. If the water tower is metal, it may be from Mastermodels? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted March 3, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 3, 2021 The two plastic straw bales next to the Hornby hydraulic buffer stop are Britains Farm Toy accessories. I had a few of those back in the day.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, it's someone's modelling 'bits box'? Curiously, stored away somewhere, I have a 1998 Princess Diana Flora margarine tub! It was kept to store modelling bits & bobs! Then it became both iconic and controversial! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 The bagged tyres are reproduction parts for 1950s Dinky toys. Everything else is familiar junk to anyone who had a train set and built Airfix kits in the 70s and 80s. Nicely dissected though @Ruffnut Thorston I thought that I was bad with old car parts (RRH has been known to refer to me as "War and car pieces") I have great respect for anyone who has a truly impressive knowledge of obscure bits of junk. Those sports fact bores are just amateurs. Your dog could learn that from Wikipedia.... 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite often, and so do many of the other parcels delivery companies. You just have to leave your wheelie bin out for emptying and thats where they put your parcel and its on the way to the tip before you know it. 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the Kitmaster kits... Tri-ang parlour cars with the window strips modified. I seem to recall some self adhesive overlays were made? The kitchen side doors are only marked on the window strips. The lettering is all redone... The description is interesting...Southern Pride coach parts? All that work, and the bogies and some under frames are wrong... Funny-still NO BIDS!!

The lack of such exciting sport, is one of the beneficial consequences of Lockdown. Amazing how many more deliveries actually arrive than used to be the case. Actually, I have little evidence for that claim, other than 12 months of personal experience and that of neighbours opposite Only one package missing [temporarily] and found on our other next door neighbour's step. Even that one had a picture of where it was placed, in the "Delivered" message, which made the search rather easy. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
