For the remainder of October there are some interesting auctions coming up for model railway enthusiasts, including the Model Train Sale at Vectis Auctions in Thornaby. The auction kicks off at 10.30am, with viewing beforehand from 8am. There are more than 700 lots, including some interesting railwayana and bus memorabilia. You can view the catalogue at the Vectis website. Below you can see some of the other auction highlights in October:
The Toys and Ephemera auction features a wide selection of vintage tinplate items, including a collection of various tinplate clockwork vehicles such as Lehmann Gnome 807/810 Wells Saloon Car together with a Lehmann tinplate garage (lot 2). There's also a boxed Corgi 261 James Bond Aston Martin DB5 with secret instructions and passenger figures (lot 127), which seems a potential bargain at its current estimate of £50-80. The auction starts at 11am and viewing is from Wednesday 17th until the morning of the sale.
