Two Boxed Hornby Railways Electric Train Sets
This lot comprises two boxed Hornby Railways electric train sets: the LNER Heavy Goods Electric Train Set, presented in its red and yellow box, and the Intercity 225 Electric Train Set, presented in its blue box with East Coast livery artwork. The LNER set’s box shows a layout of track sections, points and a green locomotive, while the Intercity 225 box depicts the Class 91 locomotive in InterCity livery alongside printed details of the set’s contents. Both sets are sold as presented in their original packaging, with the box artwork and printed panels providing a clear view of the subject matter.
Packaging Condition and Collector Appeal
Both boxes show general signs of age and handling, including wear to the corners and edges, with the LNER box displaying some tape marks and the Intercity 225 box showing wear along its lid edges. The boxes remain intact and the graphics are largely legible, which helps to establish the sets’ original presentation. Hornby Railways boxed sets of this kind are of interest to railway modelling enthusiasts and collectors of late twentieth-century model trains, particularly those seeking original packaging and branding from this period.
