A collection of vintage model railway equipment including examples by Hornby and possibly other makers. The assortment includes a blue diesel locomotive body featuring yellow ends and a printed white British Rail double-arrow logo, alongside two Inter-City blue and grey liveried passenger coaches, one marked with the number 71. Further rolling stock consists of a blue wagon with Kellogg’s advertising to the side and a red open wagon. The lot contains a large quantity of curved and straight track featuring metal rails on plastic sleepers, with several sets of metal points housed in plastic bags.

The controller is fitted with a grey power cord and a British three-pin plug. A second similar controller is also included. Accessories comprise printed card building components depicting brickwork and a grey plastic bridge or platform section.
