King George V
« on: August 30, 2007, 04:54 AM »
Not the real King.
But this is the king of the 00 Gauge railway.

I was given this trainset as a gift for my 3rd birthday. Now, 15 years later, i finally have found the time and space to set it up again, and relive my childhood.

This train is currently worth about $5-600 AUD. Which is a pretty penny as it was purchased for a mere $29.95 over 15 years ago.
My set is quite simple, as i only have one engine, and cannot afford to buy a new 00 gauge engine, as they are currently selling for no less than $1,100 AUD.

Anyway.

With no further adue, here are some pictures of george.




And some videos for good measure:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

Hope you don't all think i'm insane, but yes.
This train set is very important to me, as my grandfather who gave it to me died a little over three years ago.

Cheers!

Haha sweet, I too have a train set similar to that.. I should probably look up how much it's worth!

I've noticed you had a close relationship with your Grandad.
