Hi
I have a Triang Deltic, from an old set, which won't work due to the fact the working pantograph is broken and I have no idea how to fix it.
I will try uploading some pictures soon.
Regards,
Ben

Hi
You're right. I've got two triang locos one of which is a deltic.
Thanks
Ben

Whatever you do be aware this loco is a sought after collectors item and in B+ to A condition has sold in the recent past for more than 200 GBP. If you can find original pantographs repair it and keep the loco in good condition rather than run it much it'll hold value OK... If you have the whole set and box then you will have a valuable item that a collector will pay very well for.

if you search google with the horby R257 number you'll see some for sale at the moment

Hi
How much do you think the box set would go for?
I'll try posting some pictures later today.

Regards,
Ben

I've no idea whatsoever what sort of track it is but I'll try getting some clearer pictures.
I do know that the set was bought in 1962.

Hi
It is like the other one. I thought it was a Deltic because someone told me that it was, but perhaps not.
Thanks a lot
Ben

I now know where to get my code 90 track!!!

I have had a look at the auction but I think that first I will get a quote from Eastern Promise Models.
