Over on HMEM several of us assisted with this request:

The result is an auction dedicated to this large collection of 00 railway models and workshop contents at Gildings:

The tools are in the higher numbered lots. As far as I could tell from a visit today, I would not be surprised if the Myford Super-7 has never been used. The same goes for much of the accessories and tooling.

Wow. I thought I was nuts but I’m just an amateur.

Most of it looks practically unused too, a whopping collection

Spread the word and I Hope you get lots of bids, none of it will be wasted

[John McCullaParticipant @johnmcculla]

What a great collection.

It’s times like this that living in Northern Ireland is a bit of a disadvantage, there isn’t much of that stuff available second hand. I look at all the lathes, mills, shapers, etc on eBay saying ‘Collection Only’, with an English address, with great jealousy.

I hope the auction goes well!
