Notes
This collection represents a lifelong deep appreciation of Dinky Toys, Britains models, Minic models and more primarily from the 1940’s & 50’s. All British made diecast and tinplate models. Proceeds going to charities close to his heart.
This ‘long nose’ version is a more difficult find. Finished in rich maroon and cream with delightful period adverts. on both sides (nearly complete). Very nearly complete ‘BRITISH RAILWAYS’ lettering throughout.
Presents nicely. With working clockwork motor.
Bright chrome parts. Shiny wheels and well-shaped smooth black tyres.
Expected marking at the rear doors. Minor nicks to the transfers.
Complete colourfully illustrated end flap box has a very small end flap tear. A little grubbiness with light wear besides. Nice to see the faint ‘BR’ stamp on an end flap.
