An impressive MTH RailKing One-Gauge model of the Pennsylvania Railroad F-3 Diesel Locomotive, featuring an A and B unit configuration. This set includes locomotive No. 9511A (A unit) and 9508B (B unit), accurately crafted in the Pennsylvania Railroad's signature Tuscan Red livery with gold pinstripes. The A unit features a detailed cab interior, illuminated headlights, and prototypical sound functions, while the B unit, a non-powered model, mirrors the exterior detail of the A unit with precision, including metal handrails, grills, and opening doors. This model is produced in 1:32 scale, making it a standout addition to any G-scale layout or collection. Historical Context: The F-3 diesel locomotive was part of the iconic EMD F-series produced by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division between 1945 and 1949. These locomotives were pivotal in transitioning American railroads from steam to diesel power in the post-war era. The Pennsylvania Railroad, one of the largest and most influential railroads in the United States, used F-3 units for freight and passenger services, making them a recognizable part of mid-century rail transport history.

The RailKing One-Gauge series is celebrated for its durability, precision, and authentic detailing, catering to both hobbyists and collectors.

A PAIR OF VICTORIAN OAK 'TURNERS' CHAIRS the crest rails with carved decoration, spiral turned arms, solid triform seats, on turned supports joined by stretchers. 87cm high, 65cm wideKnown as a ‘Turner’s chair’ because all the parts, including the seat, are turned on a pole-lathe by a wood-turner. Stools and chairs are the most important aspects of turners’ furniture. The role of the turner is usually considered a secondary function – as a decorator of joined furniture, taking on aesthetic rather than structural responsibilities. Yet the turner was also responsible for an independent range of items, which included furniture, spinning wheels, mortars, cups, bowls and scales. The principle of turnery consists of shaping a piece of wood with chisels whilst it revolves around an axis between the jaws of a lathe. This process was precisely described in the seventeenth Century: ‘…Any substance, be it Wood, Ivory, Brass, etc., pitcht steddy upon two points (as on an Axis), and moved about on that Axis, also describes a Circle concentric to the Axis; And an Edge-Tool set steddy to that part of the Aforesaid Substance that is nearest the Axis, will in a Circumvolution of that Substance, cut off all the parts of Substance that lies further off the Axis and make the outside of that Substance also Concentrick to the Axis… This is a brief Collection, and indeed the whole Summ of Turning…’. (see Victor Chinnery, ‘Oak Furniture: The British Tradition’, Antique Collectors’ Club, 1979, pp. 81-86 for information about turning; and pp.87-104 for information about turned chairs). The terms ‘turner’ and ‘thrower’ mean the same thing, thus the classic turned chairs are described as both ‘turneyed’ and ‘throwen’ in English inventories.
