These are all confirmed as still running. Will need a little easing in though having been inactive for 20+ years at home. 

There are a few other OO Gauge which are non runners or in need of repair, will leave them till after these but can list later under heading of "repair" perhaps. No more going on ebay till after Xmas is over though as I am away again next week in Dublin. 

Additionally there are some box sets of OO Coaches which again I will list under separate heading here later. 

Update -- all Dad's models and spare items have now been found new homes thanks to generous collectors and ebay. Will keep the entries here on this blog and my other one as my own reminder of some of my late fathers handiwork.

SOUTHERN REGION 1st / 3rd CLASS COACH. 
O GAUGE (7mm)

FOUND WHAT I BELIEVE IS THE CENTRE COACH  WHICH IS IN THE SAME LIVERY AND BUILD QUALITY TO SUGGEST THAT IT GOES WITH THE TWO BRAKE COACHES PREVIOUSLY DETAILED HERE AND LISTED ON EBAY. 




MAKES UP A NICE 3 CAR SET, HAVE LOOKED EVERYWHERE IN CASE THERE'S ANOTHER MAKING 4 BUT BELIEVE THIS IS IT. 



HAVE NOT LISTED THIS ITEM AS YET.
