A Collection of Vintage-Style Battery-Operated and Die-Cast Toys Including a Road Power Steam Engine and Lledo Days Gone Vehicles
Description
This lot comprises a group of vintage-style toy vehicles, featuring a large boxed locomotive and several boxed die-cast models. The primary item is a battery-operated Steam Engine manufactured by Road Power, identified by the model number D51101 on the locomotive cab. This item is constructed predominantly from plastic and is housed in its original pictorial window box. The packaging identifies several mechanical features including mystery action, a smoky effect from the chimney, an automatic signal horn, and a signal headlight. The unit is designed to operate on two D cell batteries. Accompanying the locomotive is a collection of six die-cast commercial vehicles, primarily from the Lledo Days Gone and Collectors Models series. These models are constructed from die-cast metal with plastic components and include a red steam traction engine lettered for A.H. Thomson and Son, a yellow Courvoisier delivery van, a blue Coal and Coke Merchants truck, and a red Royal Mail delivery van. All die-cast items are contained within their original window boxes or blister packs.
The yellow ruler indicates the main locomotive box measures approximately 41 centimetres (16 inches) in length.
