brianusa Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 This will be fine for the general public with an emphasis on history and ephemera. Lots of tinplate and other toy trains but what about the scale enthusiast? White gloves are in evidence! Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theakerr Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Bit of a letdown. Could have had so much more without increasing time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted January 22, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 22, 2015 Somewhat startled that the old Hornby HST power car is considered such a collectible item that it requires careful handling by a curator with white gloves!! Most of these are only fit for landfill these days. Certainly not rare that is for certain.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but it would be nice to have one kept in decent condition for posterity, if only as a reminder of how far things have come since then. If you treat 'em all roughly, there definitely won't be any worth keeping! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
