Model Forum / General / Railroads / July 2005Valuation
I have a Tri-ang Hornby (mfg Rovex Scale Models Ltd) boxed set called 'The Midlander' RS.8 It contains loco, tender, two carriages and an oval of track plus a dealership booklet - all original from, I believe, 1965. It's been in my family since new having belonged to my dad, older brother and me. If I was to sell/auction does anyone know of it's value? It's in remarkable condition considering it's 40 years old with no broken/missing parts (apart from one or two missing sleepers on a few of the straights) and some of the gold markings on the loco have rubbed off. Mechanicaly everything is sound and the loco still pulls the train albeit in fits and bursts - nothing a little TLC would take care of! Thanks Chris >If I was to sell/auction does anyone know of it's value?< A absolute mint unused example went for £80 at a Vectis auction in January.

The item is not even in mint condition and the box has been repaired. John. > > Or check this out > > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > John. I think the whole site is taking the urine. The very first item I looked at is described thus: "DJH HORNBY DUBLO KIT BUILT BR 2-6-0 LNER K3 LOCO SUPERB ANCHORIDGE METAL FINELY DETAILED KIT BUILT LOCOMOTIVE <snip> This Anchoridge metal kit is beautifully constructed and fitted with a Portescap or similar quality electric motor. " So who made it? What type of motor does it have? This is not Aldo's new auction site is it? MBQ Thanks Nick, I got to say that's a first class website you got there, obviously a 'Growler' fan like me! I've got two 37s in my collection one a BR blue/yellow and another the same but somewhere in the past someone has 'weathered' it using what looks like Grey Dulux paint! I'll have to take a few photos of my locos and post them up somewhere to share with the group. Regards Chris |
