A Vintage 1957 3 Rail Hornby Dublo Edg17 0-6-2t Goods Train Set Boxed, Excellent

  

1957 HORNBY DUBLO EDG17 0-6-2T GOODS TRAIN SET FOR 3 RAIL OPERATION IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, IN RARER LATE ISSUE, LONG BLUE BOX WITH YELLOW BASE. MADE BY MECCANO LIMITED, LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND. AN EARLY BLACK BR LIVERY, N2 0-6-2 TANK STEAM LOCOMOTIVE, NUMBERED 69567, AND 4 METAL GOODS WAGONS WITH METAL COUPLINGS AND METAL WHEELS, COMPLETE WITH OVAL OF TRACK.

THIS IS A MOSTLY ORIGINAL SET THAT HAS BEEN USED. THE LOCO IS IN VERY GOOD, FULLY WORKING CONDITION. ALL ROLLING STOCK IS IN AN EXCELLENT, LIGHTLY USED CONDITION. THE LITHOGRAPH PRINTED TINPLATE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITHOUT FADING, RUSTING OR SCRATCHES. THE ONLY FAULT I CAN FIND IS THE TANK WAGON BODY HAS SOME TINY SCRATCHES AND HAS BEEN TOUCHED UP AT ONE END. THE LOCO HAS BEEN TRACK TESTED AND WORKS VERY WELL. THE TRANSFERS & BOILER BANDING ARE EXCELLENT.

ALL OF THE TRACK APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL TO THIS SET FROM NEW ie. IT IS ALL EXACTLY THE SAME SHADE BUT, 4 CURVES AND THE LONG STRAIGHT HAVE BEEN SCREWED DOWN AND USED, SO; RAILS ARE TARNISHED AND THERE IS DEFORMATION AND SCRATCHES AROUND SCREW HOLES. NOTE THAT THIS SET IS THE VERSION WITH THE 32084 D1 MOBIL OIL TANK WAGON AND THE 32065 D1 MEAT VAN INSTEAD OF THE VACUUM OIL TANK AND THE 32040 GOODS VAN. THE ORIGINAL BOX IS COMPLETE AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH SCUFFING, FADING AND A LITTLE PAPER LOSS TO ONE END. THE LID HAS NO SPLIT CORNERS OR TAPE REPAIRS.

THE BASE IS FAIRLY SOLID WITHOUT ANY TAPE REPAIRS. IT HAS SOME WARPING AND IS GRUBBY. IT IS COMPLETE WITH ALL INSERTS FOR THE LOCO AND WAGONS. THE END PROTECTORS FOR THE TRACK AND THE LOCO COVER STRIP ARE REPRODUCTIONS.

COMES WITH INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAINTAINING 3 RAIL LOCOMOTIVES AND TRACK PLANS BOOKLET IN FAIRLY GOOD, COMPLETE CONDITION. THE GUARANTEE SLIP, HORNBY MEMBERSHIP LEAFLET AND MECCANO MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION LEAFLET ARE ACCURATE COPIES.

ONLY MISSING THE GLASS VIAL / TUBE OF OIL AND THE LOCO TESTED TAG. WOULD MAKE A SUITABLE ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION OR LAYOUT. WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT CHRISTMAS GIFT.
