Jouef Set What is the value?

[agoose]

Hi

 

I have a Jouef Fret (freight) express with the Irish Loco

 

It states made in Irlande on the side (they once had a plant in Clare HDI - was it not)

 

The tracks do not have HDI on them though

 

I think the transformer is bunched

 

 

I also have a LIMA Irish catalouge if I am not mistaken

Hi agoose & welcome to the site, I'm sorry but I wouldn't be of any help on that question, but if you contact wrenneire of this parish he if nobody else will have the info your looking for, I wouldn't be surprised to find he may have a few of those in his closet, or cave!!

WRENNEIRE is your best man here. I have some jouef stuff. They used to go for silly money a few years ago. I remember locos going for 250/300euro.

 

Not sure what the value of a complete set is nowadays.

Thanks so far for the helpful replies

 

Wrenneire might be along later. If not, I will PM him.

 

I have another set (Airfix) and Hornby and LIMA wagons. Boxed and unboxed but all in excllent condition.

 

Also the hornby Smokey Joe 0-4-0 engine boxed. I think it got a handful of hours on the track :-(

 

I would like to get a good home for them as I do not think I will ever get around to putting down a track layout as much as I would like to

You must have the luck of the Irish wit used sets:

(= simular loco as in your set. The model is from the French SNCF BB67000, with the Irish colors)

 

Gr,

Our interest in Jouef is in the HDI marque

These sets were made in Ireland in the late 70's

The more modern stuff is not of any great interest

Chect out this thread and a few of the following pages:

Excellent, Jan.

A better guess, I hope...

Almost right! (Who cares )

I'm living in Quest-Flanders, a Flemisch spoken part of Belgium, and a'm a shunter driver (EMU's; DMU; Loco's & DVT's) on the SNCB, @ Ghent.

ca 35km of Bruges; 25km of Ghent; 45km of Lille (Fr) (growwing up @ the Flanders Fields County).

 

Started with LEGO trains (8 age); @ age 15 makes a change to Marklin 3R~. Since 2004 by a visit @ the Emerald isle, I catched the Lima 207 'River Boyne' on the Belfast Model shop & @ Malahide Castle the 'Galway coaches' set. It's the faul of the Irish, I'm driving now Irish 00 (diving down now )

 

The SNCF BB67000, model for the loco on the set, does daily the Cross Border services between the Northern of France & Ghent

 

Les meas,

Jan
