Thanks for your interest DDO. Perhaps it will become a little clearer when I sort through the bridge pieces. I hope people don't mind all my posts about this lot I just enjoy writing them like a diary.
As for Super's musings about the seller I can say he was retired and perhaps a british expat. The gear was used for a holiday program for children he once helped run that was shut down due to covid (then subsequently cancelled altogether despite things getting more normal again). He just wanted them gone anywhere. I didnt ask how he got them or what happened to all the engines as not to be nosy or hinting I wanted more for so cheap.
There would appear way too much for one family to play with but it seems I am the right person to at least give the lot some care and restore it for use. It is possible some or all of of it was donated so I am mindfull not to be greedy but part of it may be best grouped and sold locally at a value price without also tanking the local tomy market or being flipped again...
