Here we have a further item from my G scale (45mm gauge)garden railway (that never was). I have decided to move to “ride-on” live steam railways, based at my club, rather than in my garden, so I am reluctantly selling all my G scale items. This listing is for a completed, kit built, Bachman (Plasticville) Coaling Station (item no. 1957). I have the plans and kit assembly instructions (in as new condition) and although the kit is completed (to a good standard), when it was despatched to me, a couple of parts were disassembled to facilitate safe and secure packaging, and I have never got round to fully re-assembling this. The photo shows the model as it is, and there are a couple of parts loose, including the lower run of steps which are seen in the photo - but are simply placed in the correct position for the photo. I am led to believe from the eBay listing when I successfully bid for this item, that this is a fairly rare item, so could be collectable for that reason alone, or, may obviously be of interest to someone modelling a garden railroad on the American outline, as I had intended to. Due to EBay rules, these are all listed as used, but please be assured that unless I specifically state on a listing, that I purchased the item as “second user” when I acquired it, then they were all purchased new and un-used, mostly from my good friend John Prescott (“twojags” on EBay). Many items are boxed (and listed as such) but quite a few are un-boxed, since, - as John used to describe them – they were “liberated” from such-and-such a train set – e.g. “Bachmann Mountaineer” set and so on.) Whether boxed, or not, all items will be securely packaged for shipment, and the carrier provides insurance up to £250 as appropriate, with “signed-for” delivery. When I received them, I would check them, and then keep them for the day when my permanent way could be installed in my garden. Unfortunately, that day never came, - my wife had a stroke last November, and as a full time carer, and less finances as result of her illness, I have had to re-assess my plans for a garden railway, and I have decided to make use of my magnificent club track, and move to 5 inch gauge ride on railways, where my only outlay is my loco. So all my G scale items must go to help me finance my hobby in its new direction. Everything listed will be at a (fair) low start, with no reserve, and no “buy-it-now”. Many items are surprisingly heavy, and unless the winning bidder wishes to collect, in which case cash on collection is fine, I will be using a carrier (myHermes) which I have found to be very reliable, and in most cases, significantly cheaper than Royal Mail, especially since they increased their rates! The estimated costs for carriage insurance and packaging are shown for each item. As my carrier only ships to the UK I am opting to make this a UK auction only - so UK based bidders only, please. Due to its weight, the packing, insurance and signed-for delivery charge for this item is £10.50. Unless you are intending to pay cash on collection, payment, to include the cost of shipping etc. as above, will be required by Pay Pal, please. So – grab a bargain, and happy biding all you G Scale garden railroaders, - the starting price is way below the catalogue price! – Look out for my other listings – much more coming soon! read more
