that we have again put together a rather special auction, which features a
number of items that are rare and some that have never before been available at
auction. We normally conduct our Railwayana business via private treaty sales
(through Railway Nameplates UK Ltd), so that client confidentiality is
maintained. In response to client

of sale arrangements. We aim to organise further auctions. The next may be later this year. Terms & Conditions for the Auction - these can be found overleaf. Please note that neither Buyer’s Premium

1. Bids All bids made shall be treated as offers made upon
these Conditions of Sale and all persons present are admitted to attend a sale
on the basis that they have notice of these Conditions. All persons intending
to bid must register at the registration desk and obtain a bidding card before
the sale starts. Only one bidding card shall be issued per registered name. 2.
Ascertainment of the buyer The Buyer shall be the person making the highest bid
which is acceptable to the Auctioneer as signified by the fall of the hammer.
In the case of a dispute as to the highest bid during or immediately after the
sale of the lot, the Auctioneer may if he thinks fit put up the lot again for
sale. 3. Auctioneers discretion The Auctioneer has sole discretion (a) to refuse any
bid, (b) to advance the bidding as he may decide, (c) to decide whether there
has been a dispute as to the bidding and under condition 2 to resell the lot in
question, (d) to withdraw or divide any lot or combine one lot with another or
others, and (e) to exclude any person from the auction room. 4.
Reserves and seller's right to bid Lots put up for sale are subject to (a) to any
reserve price imposed by the Seller, and (b) the right of the Auctioneer to bid
on behalf of the Seller up to the amount of the reserve, but the Seller shall
not bid personally on any of his own lots. Neither the Auctioneer nor any
person employed at the sale shall bid personally for any lot. 5.
Buyer's duties The Buyer shall at or before the end of the sale (a)
pay the full purchase price either in cash or by cheque up to any amount if the
Buyer is known to the Auctioneer or by prior arrangement, and (b) subject to
condition 6, forthwith clear the lots purchased. 6.
Storage and delivery of lots The Auctioneer will at the request of the Buyer store
larger items at its premises for up to one month at the Buyer's risk, and these
can be collected by prior arrangement. Items can be delivered to most areas at
cost. 7.
Commission bids The Auctioneer will execute commission bids, free of
charge. Postal bidders should use the form near the back of the catalogue.
Commission bids will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to any
reserve and other bids. The Auctioneer shall not, however, be responsible for
any neglect or default in executing or failing to execute any commission bid. 8.

sold with all faults and imperfections and neither the Seller nor the
Auctioneer is responsible for any defects whatsoever; (b) no warranty is given
or authorised to be given by the Seller or the Auctioneer with regard to any
lot other than that the Seller had the right to sell it; (c) any express or
implied conditions or warranties whether relating to description or quality,
are hereby excluded. 9. Inspection Ample opportunity is given for
viewing and the Buyer by making a bid acknowledges that he has satisfied
himself fully before bidding, by inspection or otherwise, as to its condition.
This includes the physical condition and description including, but not
restricted to, whether the lot is damaged or has been repaired. 10. Catalogue descriptions The Auctioneer undertakes that care has been taken to
see that catalogue descriptions, including rarity, origin and condition, are
accurate and reliable, taking into account all the information available when
the catalogue was prepared, but these are necessarily matters of opinion only
and shall not be taken to be statements of fact. Subject to Condition 11
neither the Seller nor the Auctioneer is responsible for the correctness of any
description. Any comments on the catalogue, lots or descriptions should be made
to the Auctioneer before the date of the sale and not on the day of the sale,
as this provides no opportunity to check any queries. 11.
Forgeries Notwithstanding Conditions 8, 9, and 10,
if the Auctioneer receives notice in writing from the Buyer within 7 days of
the sale that in the Buyers opinion a lot is a forgery, and on giving such
notification the lot in question is returned to the Auctioneer at his working
premises in the same condition as when bought, then if, on considering such
evidence as the Buyer supplies to prove the Buyers assertion, the Auctioneer
decides that the lot is a forgery the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the
purchase price repaid to the Buyer. 12.
Property in lots and risk The Buyer shall not become the owner of
any lot, and the Auctioneer shall have a lien thereon, until the Buyer has
discharged the purchase price. 13.
Default by Buyer If the Buyer fails to pay for or remove any lot bought
by the Buyer or in any other material respect fails to comply with these
conditions, the Auctioneer shall have the right (a) to resell the lot by public
auction or otherwise without notice to the Buyer, and, if any deficiency arises
on such resale after deducting the Auctioneer's full costs and expenses, the
Buyer shall be responsible to the Seller and Auctioneer therefore (but any net
surplus to be the Seller's) or alternatively, (b) to store the lot at the
Auctioneer's premises or elsewhere and to release the lot to the Buyer only
after payment in full of all reasonable storage and removal expenses incurred
(in addition to the purchase price). 14.
Liability of Auctioneer All persons attending a Sale under the conduct of the
Auctioneer shall be deemed to be on the land and premises at their risk and
shall have no claim against the Auctioneer in respect of
cancellation/postponement of a sale or any loss, accident or injury, however
occasioned.

Wales” in 1969. Menai Bridge-Caernarfon originally double track,
but singled in 1966. The staff was in use for one day only viz. 1st July,
1969 , when, to cope with the unprecedented volume of traffic, the branch was
split into 2 sections: Menai Bridge -Felin Heli (Port Dinorwic) and Felin
Heli-Caernarfon. In addition to the Royal Train, a large number of
loco-hauled and dmu specials went along the branch, many being stabled one
behind the other on the closed but still-extant Afon Wen branch from
Caernarfon to Dinas and Llanwnda. The Caernarfon branch closed to all traffic
4th Jan. 1970. However, before demolition could commence, the Britannia
Bridge burned down in May 1970, and the branch was re-instated for
Freightliner traffic, with 2 trains per day. Containers were forwarded by
road from Caernarfon to Holyhead via the suspension bridge. Last train on the branch was a dmu farewell
special in 1972. (THIS PARTICULAR STAFF HAS NEVER BEEN
