Old Lima tank and coaches - info?

=>I was given a bag of "goodies" today which consists of a pair of vintage H&M =>controllers and what I assume must have been a very early Lima trainset. =>This consists of : =>

=>an 0-4-0 tank engine numbered 40106 =>two (supposedly) LMS coaches in blood& custard (numbered 5051) =>one blue coach with "COMPAGNIE INTERNATIONALE DES WAGONS - LITS ET DES =>GRANDS EXPRESS EUROPEANS" =>about 30 items of Lima track. =>

=>both types of coach appear to be the same moulding except for the roof and =>bogies. =>

=>The loco (surprisingy) runs OK. =>

=>Does anyone know anything about these? =>Is anyone likely to want them? =>

I doubt it, but the cars sound like they might be a good basis for experiments in kitbashing. Yeah, yeah, I know they're not kits -- so take them apart... :-)

HTH

The coaches will be HO scale - there are a few British HO collectors who would be glad to get them. The loco is - well - a US styled toy. Useful motor parts for many Lima locos. The CIWL coach is accurate as far as the lettering is concerned - the rest is imaginary.

I thought as much... they are deffinitely toys rather than models... And, yes, I'm pretty sure they must be HO - they look small.

If anyone wants these, drop me an email.
