spot the gem(s)

Post by MOKOSEX »

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 :D ,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

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.

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.

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.
