Hi Duncan, Phil here:

I would agree with Jono's price estimates for your unboxed stuff. The 3
sealed sets I would guess 40-50 each. I would be interested in any or all of
them.
The hinge piece you describe is from the 4.5V train ferry set 343, which if
you could make it up would probably be worth 40-50 even WITHOUT the box (4
of these hinges in the set).
The 'spring' Jono is asking about is a quite fragile part of the baseplate
moulding itself, a 'tang' just in front of the hole that the steering goes
through. Its purpose is self-centering steering.

Hope this helps,
Phil.
hi phil
Thanks for the info.
I only have 3 of the hinges for set 343 but i`ll check to see what else I have.
yes the spring is intact on all of the plates that I have.I also have quite
a few spare plates with the hole in the middle in various colours a couple
of steering rods black and white.Plus other bits
I may be tempted to part with this lot.If any on is intrested please send me
an email with a phone number so I can describe the rest to you.
Jon give me a ring
Thanks duncan

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.
