Clearance of 00 stuff

[jhb171achill]

I am assisting a friend in clearing her elderly dad’s house. He’s in a home now and wants to sell all this stuff. Stock is situated in Dublin but can be possibly be delivered in and around the Lisburn / Belfast area too, though probably not till the new year.

Postage is extra. Whatever it is that you want posted, I’ll find out the cost and advise you first. No stock has boxes but all are pristine unless otherwise stated.

Locos are believed to be fully working unless stated but have not been tested and are sold at buyers risk. All are DC.

Prices are in euros, and “lot numbers” will make identification easier.

Locos €50

Carriages €20 (6 for €100)

Wagons €5

Lot 53 is older, coarser wheels, €5 including two small model cars.

Lot 51 is a genuine antique cast metal toy cannon (it works!) which dates from the 1920s. €25 for that.

Ah come on JHB you can do better than that. Surely you can flog that cannon to some of your tourists for hundreds of euro by telling them it was used by Michael Collins as a child…Seriously, some great material there for conversions . That Fowler tank is a good donor for a WT and the Compound for….well, a Compound. Schools class makes a fair VS.

Thought Lot 51 was the cannon used by Dev to start the Irish Civil War! Extra info for the American tourists JHB

What do you mean “it works” like can I use it for the seige of toy Constantinople

If it really does work it is probably illegal to sell without a licence.

Looks like a spring driven device rather than pyro.

It's possibly an "Amorce Cap" device - a 4.7" naval gun by Britains - Boer War era.

The caps can still be got. Licensing discussions could be entertaining.
