Vintage Tri-ang 'OO' Gauge Electric Goods Train Set - In original box

Embark on a fascinating journey into the past with this charming vintage Tri-ang 'OO' gauge electric goods train set, a true piece of railway history with a heartwarming story. This set was a treasured Christmas gift in 1958, as indicated by the lovely personal inscription within its original box to "Quentin James from Mommy & Daddy," adding a unique touch of provenance and nostalgia. This set's design dates back to 1953, the first year this model was produced, making it an even more desirable piece of railway history. It offers a fantastic opportunity for the dedicated model railway enthusiast or collector who relishes the challenge of restoration, eager to bring a piece of childhood joy back to life.

This is a well-loved set, offered as a compelling, largely complete, and untested project. The locomotive, while robust and showing signs of its cherished past with authentic playwear, currently requires skilled attention as it is not in working order. The accompanying goods rolling stock also displays charming signs of enthusiastic play, and while most of the original 'OO' gauge track pieces are present, it is possible that some smaller parts or accessories may be missing from the trailers. The set is offered as-is, with the understanding that some components may require replacement. The track pieces will benefit from thorough cleaning and some tender loving care to restore their optimal condition.

Crucially, the entire set is presented in its original Tri-ang packaging. While the box itself is well-used, showing wear, tears, and some repairs consistent with its age, its presence confirms the set's authenticity and completeness as it was initially sold. This is more than just a collection of components; it's a comprehensive restoration canvas from 1953/1958, awaiting the passionate individual ready to unlock its full potential and witness its exciting return to the tracks.
