Hi,

This is my first post so please be patient with me.

My father dies recently and we are now in the process of accounting for all his N Gauge Locos, rolling stock, carriages etc. that he collected with such fondness.

Regrettably as an Executor to his Estate I have been given the task of selling the items (approx 60 locos, 80 RS) and am trying to decide the best way to go about :-
a) Getting a realistic price for them

Trying to find some fairly obscure ones - ie. Fleischmann 7895 and 7893 Collectors Editions

Any help would be appreciated at what is obviously a very sad time for us.

Many thanks,
Ian

Many thanks to Malcolm, Brian, Kain amd Expat for your kind words and suggestions.

Thankfully, time is not as issue so I have started to track similar items on eBay to see what we could reasonably expect for the locos, carriage, rolling stock etc. I am both a Beneficiary and Trustee of my Father's Estate which should make life an awful lot easier.

It is with regret that I cannot myself retain his collection as I neither have the space available for them and have no children myself to pass them down to

If anyone is interested I could let the forum know when I have the full list available should it be of any interest to you all.

Many thanks once again, your kind support and words have been gratefully received.
