This Hornbys first produced train and was first produced in the 1920’s and is tin plated with a clock work mechanism and the gauge is OO.


This was a barn find and hasn’t seen the light of day for about 80 years so over those years it has gained a natural patina. The main engine itself has all of its mechanisms in tact and the key winds but I don’t know what you have to do to release it, this may require some service.

All of the other carriages also have their wheels apart from the crane but they will require maintenance and are also made out of tin. One of the carriages will need some slight repairs and the roof replacing.

The main steam engine has on of the metal bumpers missing.

As I do not know the working of any of these trains, this would be more of a display piece or restoration project.
