000 Guliver County

Part of the accessories for the locomotive sets these are tiny and come in a variety of colours with smooth or knobbly cast wheels
I believe there's a plastic container trailer for the artic but I am still to find one

Nice little (yes, the pun is intentional... ), collection Reg. These were issued in 1963 and you have the full set. The Yellow School coach is often mistaken as being part of the 'Tuf-Tots' range, but I know of no connection or intention of this.

I am also unaware of any load being available for the flat bed truck, as this was used as a load itself on one of the Locomotive's flat cars and marketed in the catalogue as...Flat Car with Truck Load.

I stand corrected and take my hat off to you Reg, there is a container for the flat bed Truck.

you beat me

Fascinating, they seem to clip over the whole flat bed area, so assuming they were a fairly tight fit, they should have survived in enough quantities for you to find one complete with container.

I did not know 'Gary's Cars' had featured this series of models, thought they were outside the scope of his site, thank's Reg.

A couple of the railway accessory buildings, oh dear I can see another branch of lone star coming

Hello all,

The Gulliver County Buildings can be a complete collection in itself. These are considered to part of the LONE STAR TREBLE-O-LECTRIC SERIES.

There are 10 different models, each one hand (Spray) painted, creating a myriad of paint variations.

In addition, many of the models have Mold Differences. Some older models have Chimney Flues which were later eliminated.

Another challenge is to find a Original Box for each of the ten (10) Models (if you a Crazy Collector like me...LOL).
All Boxes are the same.

Thank's Alan, love this sort of stuff.

Is it true the instructions for the buildings describe how to flatten the base on a warm surface to enable the building to stand level!
