Ultra RARE! Nobody, but NOBODY ever bought those models, kept them in the unopened boxes and hid them in a display case in the belief that one day they would be valuable... Someone grab them as a sure fire investment, quick! Ok. I may have been a little sarcastic there. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffnut Thorston Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) 11 hours ago, Bill Radford said: 60 years ago. And where's the coach? Standard track (previously known as Universal Track) was superseded by Series 3 Track in 1958, though it was still made in smaller quantities for some time afterwards... The coach is in picture 4, wrapped in tissue paper...I assume that the mail bags are in the smaller bit of tissue paper... There is a cover piece over the coach in picture 3. Later cover pieces have a hole in them to allow the coach to be seen, while still holding it down in transit. Now I can’t say that the description is correct or not, and that Tri-ang Railways may not always have used yellow tissue paper packing, but the transfers on the poster boards are a bit worn around the edges... Also...Tri-ang Railways did NOT usually ship track with a wood screw in one of the fixing holes! See top pick up track section in the photos, right hand end! I do tend to notice these things. Caveat Emptor indeed.... Edit...to add that the other holes shew signs, such as threads cut in, and possibly rust, from being screwed down. So, in balance, possibly a Very Good Condition set.....but “ New Old Stock”? Edit 2...Possibly Lot 1 has actually sold? Not in the listings...

I'll have to remember to bid tomorrow, but I'm hopeless at doing so. Saves me from buying carp, I suppose. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Possibly home made. VERY RUSTIC IN APPEARANCE. A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY LAYOUT. No Box.' I like the “possibly home made” statement - more of a certainty that one. There are some disturbingly large cracks in the large plate glass window and the levers made from snips of coloured electrical wire are a nice touch - as long as nobody pulls on them. I wonder what motivated someone to bid on this. Cheers Darius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
