One of the UK's largest private collections of model trains is being auctioned off - and is expected to fetch at least £100k. The haul - which contains 3,000 items, some dating back more than 100 years - will be sold online next month.
Stuart Bull is selling from Chard, Somerset on behalf of a collector who wants to remain anonymous. The auctioneer, 52, says he and his team believe the collection could be the largest private collection ever sold in the UK.
Previously stored in the seller's home, shed and greenhouse in Southampton, the trains will be sold on December 10 and 11. The most expensive items are expected to fetch around £600 - with the whole lot valued at more than £100,000.
