dseagull Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) Any questions please ask. Why? seems an obvious one. Cheers, MIck Where can I buy the red tippex you painted it with? EDIT; In relation to https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/323210202337?ViewItem=&item=323210202337 , obviously selected the wrong quote option!

Il Grifone Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) This lot might be worth it for the TTTE Clarabel alone. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Large-Job-Lot-70-Hornby-Triang-Jouef-Lima-Rail-Wagons-Transporters-Carriages-/253444253375?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10 Or not..................... Cheers, Mick That apparently is the 'correct' face . Clarabel is the one telling the dirty joke and Annie is feigning shock.... I'm sure the underpaid production line workers in China couldn't care less which face they have! From what I remember of the books (the only valid source!) Annie and Clarabel were/are bogie coaches. Six compartments (or rather five as the guard needs one) is hardly sufficient for a branch line train. Apart from that this load of junk can't be worth more than about 20 quid (being generous) surely.... Edited April 22, 2018 by Il Grifone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six compartments (or rather five as the guard needs one) is hardly sufficient for a branch line train. You could argue that Awdrey's own models are also valid - and these were (rather short) bogie coaches. (Without the faces, I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd forgotten about the layout, but it only proves my point. IIRC they were wagon bogies due to the sharp curves. £200 for a copy of 'Toby the Tram Engine'? I wish I'd kept mine.... (It would have been a first edition but also worn out from continual re-reading....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratch-built bodies on a wagon chassis, I think. £200 for a copy of 'Toby the Tram Engine'? I wish I'd kept mine....

steve W Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 A niche market, like snuff boxes. There's a lot of variants of this unique loco on view just above the listing detail. You could get four or five to start the collection. So, take a punt - at 99p a go you won't have lost a lot if in ten years if they're not worth 50p.

Il Grifone Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I've got a set of 1951 books still with the slip covers somewhere! They were bought for me then by my father., The covers of some of mine ended up on some wall plaques made by my mother with plaster. The printed image was supposed to stick to the plaster. IIRC one or two worked.... I seem to recall my books were passed on to my brother....

RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted April 25, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 25, 2018 £1,100 might or might not be too much as we don't have a clear list of the stock etc included. However given what is clearly visible £100 is just a silly low valuation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However given what is clearly visible £100 is just a silly low valuation. Undoubtedly, but will it sell? . (I was joking....) Anything is worth only what you can get for it. Broken into individual lots, it could well make more. A thought! Didn't we have a layout on pulleys some time ago that dragged on and on....

However given what is clearly visible £100 is just a silly low valuation. I think the £100 was a bit tongue in cheek As has been said its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. A list of stock would have been interesting ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
