It'll come as no surprise that our heritage railways are really hurting now, financially. I, personally, have made some small contributions to funds which are designed to provide some financial relief and I'll continue to do so, within my somewhat meagre abilities. However, the reason for this missive is that the Great Central Railway "Emporium" have been gifted a quantity of tinplate O gauge which looks to be in pretty poor condition but may be of interest to someone who's in to the restoration of classic stuff.
Now, I have no knowledge of the possible value - it might be nix - but in the hope that there may be someone on WT who has an interest in such things and may be feeling altruistic here is the info from the latest e-missive from the GCR:
"0 Gauge
Complete train set in tin-lots of rail, wagons carriages etc-needs lots of love but probably quite rare.Contact me for details. Looking for offers in excess of £100
Phew that's it.Remember all the money(every penny)we raise goes towards helping our railway in these trying times.
All goods are subject to discussion re delivery/collection/payment etc
Email for all the above chris.shilliam@btinternet.com"
There's also a few bits of OO on the site. I've not shown it here as I suspect it's fairly common although the prices look pretty good to me but will be delighted to do so if there's any interest. As Chris says, every penny from these sales helps to keep the railway viable.
I much appreciate you taking the time to look at this.
