A Toby the Tram Engine display from the long-running children's television show Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends. Toby was based on a J70 tram engine, and his main function was to shuttle workers to and from the quarry.

The model is made primarily of resin and acrylic and is painted to look like it features wood panelling. It has metal wheels and a small motor inside, and sits on a custom-made display featuring a small section of track and gravel.

A level of sympathetic restoration has been undertaken to restore it to its current condition. The model was taken apart so that glue and previous repairs could be tidied. There remain some general signs of use, including a missing windowpane at the back, paint wear and cracks along its grey skirting, and a broken front-left doorway. The cowcatcher is a replacement piece. Dimensions (tram): 22 cm x 10 cm x 14 cm (8 3/4" x 4" x 5 1/2")

Contains electronics; see electronics notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Contains mechanical components; see mechanical notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: £8,000 - 12,000 M
