Suitable for a small child - sitting-up baby to 2 years. Internal diameter about 66cm, external diameter about 94cm. Has a "canopy" on one side to protect against the sun - about 66cm high. In good condition generally though has 2 small punctures that have been successfully repaired. When deflated it fits easily into a Bag for Life.

Hornby Clockwork train set (Hammerfield HP1)
Gifted
Very old, Hornby clockwork train set(M1 Goods Set). belonged to my brother so probably dates from mid 1950s. In poor condition, dusty and quite rusty in places. Some of the trucks are a bit battered, especially the coal tender . There are 6 straight rail sections, 6 curved sections, 3 sets of points(one looks like it's from a different set). Unfortunately there are only 6 of the little metal pieces that secure the rails together where they join. I am sure they could be held together by some other means. My father screwed the whole lot, once assembled, to a plywood backing board so his grandkids could play with it. Includes the original box, though that is also dusty and battered. This is not a toy for modern child but maybe a collector or enthusiast might be interested.
