| | | 1930s Brass O Gauge W/U Tank Loco(Reference #10-7-3)
This unusual loco measures 6.5 inches long and 3.25 inches high. It may be scratch-built based on commercially produced elements. It seems to be made of a heavy gauge brass, which means that it is disproportionately heavy for its size (please ask for a postage estimate, if interested). The loco is in playworn condition, has the remnants of a transferred No 2512 to the sides and front of the boiler, and has a lump broken from the rear of the funnel. We cannot tell whether it ever had pistons, but our opinion is that it did not. It needs a very large bore key to operate it (please note that this is not supplied); currently, the loco winds up, but does not work. However, from an inspection of the underneath, all the cogs seem to be undamaged, and the very large spring does not appear to be broken. The scale is at least O gauge, but may be somewhat larger. In conclusion, this locomotive has a nice chunky feel and appearance to it and someone out there is bound to be able to shed more light on its origin. (J) US$98.00

|  | 1932 Dinky O Gauge Railway Figures (5)(Reference #5-9-510)
These five die cast figures were all made by Dinky Toys in the years 1932 to 1939/41 and measure approximately 1.5" high. They are all the larger versions of these figures. They comprise porter with case and hatbox, greaser, storekeeper, female hiker, and woman with child on right, all of which are in good condition. All the figures have some slight paint chips, mainly to insignificant parts, not readily visible. These railway personnel were made to people Hornby train layouts, and they remain ideal for that purpose today. If your model railway station looks abandoned, then bring it to life with this assortment of characters. (WR) US$ 220.00

| Boxed Trix Twin Curved Rails with Bakelite Bases(Reference #5-5-61)
Made in England, probably in the 1930s, these six curved rails are mounted on bakelite bases for use with the Trix Twin railway system. The rails are in good condition and appear to be complete with all their connectors. One rail, however, does have broken areas of bakelite at each end of its inner curve which would not seem to affect its effectiveness as a rail. The box, though slightly torn and crushed, does have all its side and end flaps. (#) US$20.00
