An interesting find!
The shots of the locomotives and rolling stock with lot numbers prior to the sale remind me of the extremely low prices (even by 1930s standards) that the equipment fetched. All of the locomotives went for around £50 each, apart from Exe, which had a steel firebox unlike the rest, which were copper. She fetched only £34… The coaches went for between £10 and £13.50 each. The exchange rate at the time was £1 to $4, IIRC.
