All worth having - I see hours of fun - lucky you.

The two non mamod  wagons look particuarly worth restoring, certainly the one in the left hand box.

I’m assuming it’s already sold/bought if you’re posting it? And I sure hope the buyer is you!!

Yes Nick, I received confirmation today that my money transfer for it arrived today, so they are mine now.

Please tell us that you stole it as I would have never taken a second look at that picture... I would have scrolled right past it  :D

I noticed the plug and S/V on the bonnet and had a good look at it and thought I recognised it so I went to the Fleischmann toys de page to check. Also thought for a minute that the tractor up in top R/H corner was a Doll steam tractor (agricultural) but no luck there.
Not exactly stolen Nick, £900 plus house fees and shipping.

Still a very reasonable price, but that would mean someone else must have spotted the treasure.

The safety valve is the biggest giveaway, but my eyes were also looking at the tractor and before I scrolled enough to see the SV I already had it in my head that it was just another tin truck. You had me looking and zooming in for a few minutes before spotting it. This piece (circled in red) also says Doll to me, have seen it used on other models. Any idea what’s on the top left?

No idea Nick, but I’d say has a piston valve.

Try STUART.

It has that look about it, but it would be slide valve, not piston.

Some more pics in due course would help.

Good eye !!!!

Looks like the two sides are there.  I hope the second tire is in the box.

What a find.
