Deconstructing a garden railway

Post by Justrite » Sun Jul 19, 2026 11:37 pm

Hi unfortunately we are deconstructing my father’s garden railway. He was a superb modeller ( but I confess to being biased) and focussed on the Talyllyn Railway and Corris Railway. We are keeping as much as we can, but we have many unbuilt Atropos kits 16mm -Corris railway 4 wheel carriage, trestle slab wagon, iron drop door open wagon plus a few others as well as parts and wheels - all brand new in unopened packages. We will be selling them once I figure out what to request. That is my problem, I can’t find any for sale, so I am struggling to estimate what they are worth? We also have a mix of new and used tracks plus some larger made models. Any guidance and advice on how we can re home his collection would be appreciated. Many Thanks J

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about your dad. Must be doubly upsetting to have to dismantle his railway.

Atropos kits are very good quality. I found a couple of their smaller kits listed on the web for £25 if that's any help ...

Eg https://www.amazinglittletrains.com/pro ... it-atropos

Alternatively, you could put them up for auction on eBay and let them find their own price.
