Lot 188: Matchbox Railways TN100 Toy Train Set
A vintage Matchbox Railways model train set, identified as model TN100, contained within its original retail packaging. The set consists of a printed cardboard box housing internal components including plastic tracks and locomotives typically constructed from die-cast metal or plastic. The box art depicts two locomotives on a rail track: a red diesel-style engine featuring a lightning bolt emblem and yellow-and-black hazard markings, and a blue steam-style engine with a yellow gear motif on the side tank. The branding Matchbox Railways is printed in large blue lettering alongside the slogan trains that go everywhere in red text. A small orange price sticker is located on the lower-left corner with handwritten characters.
Condition report:
The original cardboard box shows signs of shelf wear consistent with age, including creasing to the faces, rubbing along the edges, and slight compression to the corners. An orange price label remains adhered to the front. The completeness of the set and the mechanical function of the locomotives have not been tested as the box remains closed.
