NOW SOLD.
For Sale: my unique, slightly-modified LGB Heidi, plus her rake of two historic coaches; would prefer to sell as a set (and have priced them accordingly), but would consider sensible offers for individual items.
I’m trying to thin my collection just a little to concentrate on a predominantly German theme, so reluctantly I think that Heidi and her coach rake (the only remaining Swiss items that I currently have) deserve a new home.
The loco is a 20271 factory-DCC model with a standard LGB onboard decoder, which came without sound - but I’ve added a Massoth S sound module with the correct files for the loco, and it sounds lovely. The loco is boxed, in excellent condition with all foam box inserts to hold it safely.
The loco has been subtly improved by a previous owner, by replacing all the horrible bendy plastic handrails with beautifully made and applied brass ones - the main rails around the tank tops, the cab handrails and the smokebox handrails have all been done, and they change the look of the loco enormously compared with the black plastic originals.
There are currently two LGB footplate crew in the cab, but I also have a Prehm metal-cast driver figure in proper RhB outfit (with red neckerchief, white shirt and black waistcoat) which would look excellent in place of the standard driver - I will include that figure FREE if I get an offer of the full asking price for the loco and coaches.
The two historic coaches - 30340 and 30343 (with different running numbers, C.2010 and C.2012) are both as standard, boxed and in excellent condition, one has several passengers in period costume fitted. One coach is double-hooked, the other has the second coupler hook in the box to fit if desired.
This afternoon I took Heidi and her coaches to a local GSS open day, to let her have a test run on an RhB-themed line - the photos were all taken during that testing session, during which everything ran and sounded fine. If anyone is interested and wants to see more pics, I can take some “on the bench” photos on request.
Asking price for LOCO AND TWO COACHES is £700 - given that the new version Heidi from LGB is listed at almost £1000 (more in some places), and the coaches tend to go for at least £150 each second-hand (new versions are £200+), I think that’s a reasonable price for the lot (plus the above-mentioned Prehm driver!).
Shipping to be agreed at cost if required, or can be collected from North Essex, or I can bring it along the the Llanfair show at the end of this month if anyone wants to pick it up from there.
I would prefer a UK buyer, but if anyone else really wants it and is prepared to pay for courier shipping with full insurance then I will happily discuss it.
Thanks for looking!
Jon.
