The track and controller, even pre-war, are not worth a lot and £200-250 is more the going price for a decent articulated set. He's had the Bo-Bo Deltic for ages but it seems hard to sell for some strange reason.... I'm always wary of pre-war stuff. There's always the zinc-pest lurking. It should be OK if it hasn't shown up by now, but I do have a pre-war coach bogie which is only just beginning to show signs of cracking Edited May 7, 2017 by Il Grifone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
