Hi everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I just wanted some advice on some model train items that have been handed down to me. I have no idea about the quality or value of the items and would like to know if its worth trying to sell them or just give them away. I attached a few photos to show what I have.

I have three engines a Bachmann branch-line WD 2-8-0 Locomotive, a Hornby French line CGT merchant navy class and An Atlas southern diesel model. Plus a number of carriages, I am guessing they are HO gauge.

I have various trees, grass, gravel, paint, rail, houses and transformers.




Thanks again.

Toby, where do you live mate? If you are in Brisbane or nearby I could have a look at them and tell you what you have. The locomotives do not particularly appeal to me, but the trees, grass etc. might be worth a look. Someone else could want the locos, but really I would need to have a look. Photos don't tell us the full story.

You can send me a PM to advise where you live, or if you are in another state just mention the city on this thread.

Best regards,
John

Here is a review of the Bachmann WD 2-8-0 loco. This might help you a bit!

Also both of these are OO scale of 1:76 the Atlas locomotive though is HO scale 1:87 but both run on the same track though!
