Looks like a terrific afternoon @ the Eastman ranch
Just in , some photos of the next little lot to come South from the Netherlands ...
A beautiful clockwork Bub Dutch Railways NS1101 set with both blue and green carriage sets ... one green is missing wheels ... but we have spares here in Aussieland waiting for her
Keeping the Bub from being lonely , a nice Distler set is coming with him
And lastly Locally comes the weird-arse finds you are all coming to expect from me ( lol )
Seller here in Aus listed this on ePay as a "Car or Train Height Changer" and funnily enough in his round about way he got it 100% right !
Its actually from a Johann Hoefler train set ... where the trolleybus runs around an inclined broken oval , hooning up the incline into the curve, into the above pictured elevator , where it halts and descends under its own weight , to drive off and head round again
I currently have him looking for the track bits as its an estate sale he is clearing out , but even if they dont turn up it shouldnt be hard to find some track to fit ( 26-28mm if memory is correct , smaller than O )
Stolen web pic of complete set
I love these kinds of quirky value added things
