I would prefer swaps to selling really, I have given it a lot of thought today especially after making this thread on this forum.

I must stress I'm by no means wealthy far from it actually & selling for money just doesn't interest me - this collection has been built upon 30 years and been looked after - with some older farish stuff as new from the old farish factory in Upton Dorset before Bachmann bought the company and moved all the manufacturing to China.

In all honesty I prefer N gauge to any other scale it's just unfortunate for me the trains that interest me the most and from my childhood just don't exist as ready to run models the closest I can get is OO gauge where there any a few ready to run models and a company called Brittany models based in the UK who make all kinds of emus just don't do N gauge

so from my perspective unless I can get something that interest me in N or OO gauge or unless someone was willing to purchase my whole collection as one then it doesn't really interest me and I know that limits my possibilities and may not make much sense.

While I do appreciate the offers & the many private messages with offers etc at the moment I will respectfully decline them sorry

That being said if anyone has in N or OO gauge these models and would be willing to part with them :

any slam door southern region EMUs network south East & south west trains - 4veps, 4cigs, class 442, class 444 etc 3rd rail etc

Then i would swap anything in my collection to a vast amount of even pay good money for such models - like if it's the right model and done well, I would pay top money especially if it were n gauge.
