O Gauge Auction

There may be something of interest here. Seems to be some LNWR & L&YR items. All excellent condition?

Something like this, might end up going for more than $1.00

The "G scale" six-wheelers are pre-WW1 Carette Gauge 1, sadly repainted, but even given that are the sort of thing that would go well in the UK. 

 

The Gauge 1 0-6-2T is I think Bing, but I'd need to check.

 

Some quirky things in there certainly.

The gauge 1 0-6-2T is indeed Bing for B/L. Attached is a photo of my example.

 

Some of the descriptions have to rate as probably the worst lot descriptions in the history of auctions, the description of the 0-6-2T is "Vintage iron and tin motorised G scale model locomotive". I read it over the phone to a friend, and he was amazed and shocked to discover what it was actually describing. Also a couple of good gauge 1 locos separated from their tenders, which appear as separate lots.  Oh well, some buyers may get a bargain, but pity the unfortunate vendor.

My thought too - talk about under-selling.
