Hi all, My father has recently passed and left behind boxes of garden railway. I do not have any idea what I have, if it is worth anything or if it would be something amazing. For this reason I dont want to stick it on Facebook if it could be a real find for a real enthusiast. I have taken numerous photos and tried to list out what there is. Firstly the distance between rails is 32mm and according to Google this is O gauge.

60 x 1 yard lengths of flexi track (metal rails/plastic sleepers) The words on the under side of the sleepers say "Stream lline Devon patern applied for PECO"
4 x left hand turnout points
4 x right hand turnout points
Plastic track - 4x straight, 12x curves
Jig stone mould set
2kg scale bricks
6x Center couplings
2 x Hudson Bolster wagons
Halt & booking office plastic model kits
2 x buffer stop kits
Bogie kits
Box full of wheeks, gears, tail lamp, motor, bogies, track pins and coal hoppers
EZEE range daisy railcar kit including guard van & 2 passenger coaches
5 x grey wagons
1 x grey brake van
2 x green pasenger coaches
1 x Shell tank wagon
1 x yellow flatbed wagon
4 x red passenger coaches
1 x black flatbed wagon

Locos

Mamod steam railways engine. This is part built and has all instructions (Think this may be live steam as the instructions mention cylendar and exhaust build stage?)

1 black battery operated loco. This works and goes forwards and backwards
1 red battery operated loco. This works and goes forwards and backwards, also has directional lights

Sorry for your lost, Phil. But, you have your hands on a lot of specialist kit, which has some value. It is probably in your interest to google Garden Railways as this equipment is known as 16mm or SM32 or perhaps try this lot https://www.16mm.org.uk Please lets us know how you get on.

The part-constructed Mamod loco is indeed a live steam model.
Basically the SM32 is using '0' gauge track but vehicles built at a scale of 16mm to 1foot to give a 'narrow gauge' appearance, which allows larger models. If you wish to dispose of the equipment you may be better off dealing with either one of the larger traders or an auction house specialising in railway sales - see current issues of model railway magazines for a number of contacts.
