spot the gem(s)
I have been waiting eagerly for this lot which is rare for me, has it has a couple of gems i need,if you know what i collect you will know what they are ,then it occured to me this particular lot is a very diverse so my gems might not appeal to everyone so can you see a gem that appeals to you or is there something you want a closer photo of,i have gone through it and there are some rare/interesting items.
I have left the photo big so you can see it better,click the picture

Re: spot the gem(s)
All those 1st series 'Yesteryears' need saving and photographing separately, but the best one I can see immediately is this...
Classed as a 4 over 4 window version. The top row of very low windows had additional strut for strength put in to create, 8 over 4 design.

Some nice Wiking models are in the box but all seem to be somehow damaged.

Re: spot the gem(s)
The yesteryears are in good condition, but not good enough for your average yy collector, some have added paint ,the rarer one is the 4 over 4 like you said,the sand and gravel i think has been used to move talc lol.GHOSTHUNTER wrote:All those 1st series 'Yesteryears' need saving and photographing separately, but the best one I can see immediately is this...

Re: spot the gem(s)
Thank's Dave for the additional pictures and those 'Yesteryears' look great! just the right amount of weathering and I hope you can sell them to a model Railway enthusiast as that's where they would be at Home.
