Seller: middletonman ✉️ (2,044) 100%, Location: Swindon, GB, Ships to: GB, Item: 126389885353 Hornby Dublo 3-Rail Set EDG17 1954 Tank Goods Train BR - Boxed, Excellent. This auction is for a Hornby Dublo 3-Rail Set EDG17 1954 Tank Goods Train BR - Boxed, Excellent This is a great and very interesting set. The engine is dated March 1954 and is therefore the earlier EDL7 0-6-2 with gloss black paint and no coal. The next year, and for many more years this set featured the matt black version. This engine is in near mint condition. I can see no evidence of wear other than someone once removed the body - maybe for initial lubing? I tested the engine very briefly with flying leads as I do not have a 3-rail set up. It ran in both directions after I lubed, very lightly, the wheels and rods.  It did not rush up to top speed or anything like that. I notice that the wheels are lightly oxidized over time, not really surprising as the engine is celebrating its seventieth anniversary this month! The wagons are all in similar condition, only run a few times if at all. The box and the inner compartments are all present complete and in very good condition. The oval of track looks in first class condition. The box lid has done its job over time and shows wear from shelf storage, but is complete and sound. The inner lid has been strengthened at some point with brown paper tape repairs. I bought this set 18 years ago from a chap in Tucson, Arizona and the very dry environment there probably explains a lot. The paperwork with this set is very interesting. It was first sold in July 1955 out Messenger's, Thames Street, Windsor. The original buyer kept a part of the brown paper bag the set was sold in and it is included in the box. The guarantee shows it as selling out of Messenger's in 1955. Also included are the Instructions for running Hornby Dublo, as well as the red printed notice to lubricate the engine before running. Two Rail Layout Suggestion Documents are included, as is the Hornby Dublo price list from February 1955. The Feb 1955 Hornby Dublo products brochure is included, showing the price for this set at 98/6 plus purchase tax. Best of luck with your bidding on this high quality set. The rarity od this engine model in this condition in the EDG17 set and the comprehensive paperwork additions make this set a most attractive proposition to the discerning collector
