Ok, a little bit later than originally planned, but here's a bunch of pictures of the Hornby Dublo railway items I picked up the other night. These are all 00 (i.e. Dubl0) scale and are original models from when Hornby Dublo was a trademark of Mecanno (yes the one who makes the engineering type construction sets). I don't know the age of all the parts, but the set (EDP12 - Passenger train set) was only available between 1958 and 1961, so this stuff is even older than me and in a darn sight better shape I reckon lol!
The first two pictures attached to this message are of the box full of 'boxed' items and a separate one of loose parts (mainly track). The next message will have some individual pictures of the items in the 'box' with some nice surprises. I have to say I'm blown away with the quality/condition of these items, the locomotive (actually a Duchess class rather than Princess) is immaculate with as far as I can tell no scratches or chips to the paint work. Similarly the coaches in the set and the separately boxed third carriage are pristine as well, almost never seen in this I would say 'mint' condition. Even the wheels and pickups on the loco have no marks on them indicating little to no use.
Anyway here's the first two shots;
Loose track etc...
