Garden Railway Forum

The time has come to dispose of the rest of my 16mm rolling stock, they have spent the last 20 years in storage, I cant see ill ever get to use them again and to be honest i'd sooner see them being cared for and used than spend another 15- 20 years in storage until I pass on...

I'll take some more pictures in the next day or so but just want to see what the interest would be, job to know how to price this, the altternitive would be ebay... but Id sooner know where they where going rather than someone buy them to sell on

Kit built Lady Anne - currently set up as manual control
Scratch built Wisbech Tram battery opperated manual control - needs new battery pack
P&J Boxcab manual control

Scratchbuilt wagons based on W&L dropsides
Guards van
Box van
Boige Boxvan
Wickhams Trolley
American style coach

The buildings where sold off a year ago before we moved house

You can't send him a PM because he only has the one post and is still in "moderation". His last login to the forum was at the beginning of Jan ( presumably looking to see if there was any response to his post) so not sure how active he is/has been, and given that the original post was back in 2025 he may well have disposed of everything, but no harm in asking of course.

AHH indeed. All noted. Thank you.

A bit of an update from a third party - I bought the Wisbech tram and some wagons myself and know another member of the 16mm Association bought the Lady Anne and boxcab. However, speaking to John when collecting tram and wagons, he did say he had some parts available. Whether they would be sufficient to build another boxcab I don't know but I have emailed him just now to let him know about your post. Fingers crossed.

Ok thank you. I shall wait events.

I havent looked back here for some time... yes the boxcab is spoken for and now has sound and RC ... however I have found potentally enough parts to build at least 2 more possabily 3 more if anyone is intrested just need to locate some of my old P&J Models moulds and sort out castings at some point

I sold P&J Models a number of years ago so I could concentrate on Traction Engine rebuilds as Uskin Models - who has P&J parts now Ive no idea as I lost touch with 16mm when I moved onto 7/8ths

Dont know If I am allowed to put my email address here

I don't think there's any technical or ethical reason against putting your email address on the forum, but posting an email address online anywhere can attract a lot of spam. One way round that is to post an image showing your email address. It's not completely spam-bot-proof but if you disguise the @ symbol somehow, it might be worth the effort.

I'd also recommend putting it somewhere that people have to be logged in to see, like in your profile. That should make it inaccessible to most spam bots and web crawlers etc.
