Despite the quality photos, I don not think this is one of the Tri-ang coaches (Passenger Cars). The roof is very different...as are many of the almost visible details. As to the Transcontinental bogies...these are the “Bloomberg” style locomotive bogies! One in Lot 2 has the mounting plate, and is the trailing bogie from a Double Ended Diesel or Electric Loco...

Spotted the cattle wagon, the R1 body and the rusting remains of the Hornby O gauge, but not the other items. I wonder what is in the 3x3 drawer set?

Going by the old Triang track around it it appears to be not far off of 00 scale. The WC&PR had a pair of similar locomotives but with different cabs (from each other as well as the model). The only thing is it appears to be moulded in one piece including the wheels. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
