Oooooooh! Yummy :-) I'm always after bits like these!!!

332 and 333 are probably the most common ones. I would expect them to • change
hands anywhere between £5 and £15 (depends who you ask and when)! 313 • would
draw more interest, but mainly for the abundance of white classic • windows!
The set itself is easy to 'fake', as it has no specialist parts • (provided
that you have enough 'old' parts, that is)! 336 is probably rarest of • the
bunch for the sake of that red baseplate - does is still have the spring • intact?

A built 335 went on eBay a while back for $50+, but other sealed sets • I've
seen have been going much higher... Michael Le Count and / or Phil • Travis
might have better ideas for you.

:-)Hi jon
Thanks for the reply.I have quite a few other intresting bits of that age
but don`t know what model they came off.I have some black hinges they are
like 2 1x4 bricks end on with a hinge in the middle folding up. Any • ideas??
P.S what spring?

Wow :-) You'll have people biting your arm off for those!!! They were only
used in #343 Train Ferry - four were used in total...

The 'spring' is the thin plastic strip in the narrow end of the baseplate
which locates in the two tiny pins on top of the steering bearing. It acts
as a self-centring mechanism. Effective, but prone to breaking :-(

Jono.

I just had a strange sense of deja-vu...

Phil.
