The Terry Durrant Hornby Collection
Many of our Toys & Models clients will know Terry as a past Lacy Scott & Knight cataloguer and a regular exhibitor at Model Railway shows around East Anglia. As a former railway employee, Terry’s life-long passion for trains reached into his professional and personal life from a young age. After initially collecting 3-rail 0-gauge Marx and Bassett Lowke, Terry switched his focus to Hornby Dublo at the tender age of 18 – mainly due to it being a more affordable and spatially practical area. He did a straight swap of his collection with a colleague and began building a layout which has been much admired over the years.
Our 22nd August Toys & Models auction includes over 300 lots from Terry’s collection, including the stock and buildings in the photograph of his layout below. The collection encompasses a fabulous range of Hornby items ranging from the rare such as the pre-war ‘Sir Nigel Gresley’ loco and tender, to the more affordable wagons and coaches. These well-cared-for pieces are perfect if you are looking to complete or add to your own collection – or even inspired to start a collection from scratch!
