Title: Small discovery - your advice sought
Post by: Lawrence on October 22, 2017, 05:52:56 PM
Whilst having a tidy in the shed I came across this lot:

Presumably from when my old Dad had a brief affair with N gauge many years ago, all seem to be GF or Peco with the exception of the Piko, all are in really good nick except the GW wagon which has been badly weathered.

The there was this lot:

The Lima loco does run but rather rough and would probably benefit from a good service, the NR stuff and vinyls are from an abandoned project of mine from a few years back.

Those that know me know that British railways are not really my thing, so I would be grateful if you guys 'n gals could tell me if any of this has a value and is there a market for it.

Thanks in advance chaps

I'm far from an expert, but I have spent most of the year trawling eBay for possible bargains*. I'd say the wagons could fetch north of a fiver each, and the coaches £12-20 (or better) each.

*And not finding many!

i think the wagons about 4-5 quid each and the coaches maybe 9-10 quid each...  the lima loco, maybe 15 - 20 quid...

who knows though with ebay and second hand prices do seem higher these days...

Aavailable at exhibition today from a reputable trader:
Second hand Peco and Poole era Farish wagons £4·50 unboxed, £5·00 boxed.
Poole Farish coaches £8 - 10 unboxed. With regard to the yellow stuff, you might be better off selling the unused vinyls as they are separately.

Lima locos (any) YOU give me £20 and I'll take it off your hands... ;)

I might be interested in the yellow coaches.
