Further note, I have been asked if the sets have been retouched or refinished in any way. Both sets are totally original they have been in my possession for 35 years.

Large Chad Valley train set including track, locomotive and 2 wagons with dinosaur loads. This is an 0 gauge train set. The assembled track oval measures 156cm by 100cm approximately. The engine is powered by 3 AA batteries and has a light on the front. It only goes forward and has an on/off switch on its roof. It is 35cm long. 2 dinosaur wagons are included as shown in the pictures. The large oval of track is easy to clip together and can be assembled as you like. Everything is clean and in excellent, undamaged condition. The original box is not supplied but the train will be very well wrapped and sent by insured and trackable post. I will include some new batteries so you can play with it straight away!

This is a 4 wheel drive 0 gauge motor unit as shown in the pictures. It is suitable for battery use up to 4.5 volts. It is very powerful, on one 1.5volt aa battery I was unable to stop the axles from turning using my hand. It is 10cm long and a maximum of 5cm wide. The distance between the axles in width is 25 mm and the distance between the axles in length is 53mm. The axles are suitable for wheels with a 3mm hole. The axle protrudes 8mm out from the body. The distance from the middle of the axle to the bottom of the unit is 11mm. All sizes are appropriate but I have measured carefully. Please note that wheels are not included and the motor will have a white or red cover. It is a nice, simple, powerful unit.

That stated, the set is in such good condition that there is no reason to suspect that it will not work if adapted to function on UK electrics. The loco and coaches are complete with all original fittings and show only very mild signs of use as can be seen in the pictures.
