I have inherited 2 Wren Railways OO/HO Locomotives (20735 & 20738 stamped on
bottom).

Also 2 Hornby carriages:
R.229 PULLMAN CAR "LUCILLE"
R.743 G.W.R. COMPOSITE COACH WITH SEATS.

Can anybody tell me how much they might be worth, or where I can find out?

Many Thanks

Those are the part numbers of the plastic pick-up supports.

I'd sell these at between £10-£15 in my shop depending upon condition &
whether or not they have their original boxes.

Don't have time to do lists, sorry.

1 = Dorchester 34042, Green with British Railways logo on trailer.

2 = Devizes Castle 7002, Green with GW logo on trailer

1 only has inner box, but 2 also has outer box marked "W2236 4-6-2 WEST
COUNTRY B.R."

I believe both locomotives and below coach/car to be about 1950's

The West Country box belong to 'Dorchester'. I'd have said that neither of
these locos are particularly rare and with both having been superseded by
more recently produced models, demand might be low. Wren seems to have lost
the cult status it had a few years back.

The locos and coaches are much later than you think. I believe from the
mid-70s to the mid-80s.

John.
