Welcome to a mid-summer Gauge 1 update, necessary because of the preponderance of lovely locomotives and rolling stock finding their way to us, from unmade Aster kits to wonderful hand-built locomotives. Among the current offerings are some lovely rakes of coaches, many of them handmade to a very high standard.
Aster Schools Class 4-4-0 kit, unmade, No. 901 Winchester, Southern green, 1:32 scale, original box, untouched. It is getting increasingly rare to be offered unbuilt Aster kits and even more unusual to come across a Schools Class kit that has not been assembled, given that they were produced over 50 years ago! The kit comes complete with original box and instructions (in Japanese!) and assembly diagrams and would be a good starting point if one wanted to incorporate the various upgrades some builders have developed. Condition pristine. £1950.00
Aster GWR/BR Castle Class 4-6-0 No. 5015 Kingswear Castle, lined BR green with the early BR emblem, spirit-fired, 1:32 scale, tender fitted with coal load. Condition excellent. £3500.00
Graham Dixon LNWR/LMS Claughton 4-6-0 No. 5971 Croxteth, LMS maroon, spirit-fired, axle pump,10mm scale. Condition good albeit with a slightly faded boiler, hence the price. £2750.00
John Shawe LMS Streamlined Princess Coronation 4-6-2 No. 6220 Coronation, LMS blue, spirit-fired plus nine coaches, 10mm scale. Condition poor. This is a an opportunity to assemble a complete, streamlined ‘Coronation Scot’ train in its iconic blue livery. The whole train is offered in need of some attention and repainting, with a powerful and unique locomotive built by John Shawe, fitted with an axle pump. The coaches are all-metal construction and a few hours work would produce an extraordinary and eye-catching train. £4500.00 for the locomotive and nine coaches.
