Wrongly listed  - its 0rribly 0versized, not N gauge. About mid to late 1950s so might be considered collectable, but it looks like its had plenty of use.

Well he can ask...

I always find it amusing when people put things like "please note this is a museum piece not a toy". Surely if you curate a museum or collect such things you're acutely aware of whether what he has is truly as rare and special as he thinks it is, you probably don't need to be told. Unless he's trying to pull a fast one of course!

Is the seller serious, or has he just made a typo with the position of the decimal point? :hmmm:
