Aero Model Engine Auctions

Every November, avid collectors of aero model engines descend on Gildings to bid on micro-engineering masterpieces. Formerly held as stand-alone auctions, aero engines, model kits, and modelling tools are now incorporated into a sale of scale model railways and other modelling material, alongside toys and memorabilia. This dedicated area of the November auction is often compiled from key and prominent collections of aero engines, alongside smaller consignments from private vendors looking to evolve their own collections. Depending on consignment numbers, aero model material may be offered in similar auctions throughout the year. Register your interest in this field of collecting to be kept informed of relevant auctions being held at Gildings.

 

Buying and selling with Gildings Auctioneers

Historically the annual auction of Aero Model Engines is held in the first week of November, and this tradition will remain as aero model engines are incorporated into our Toy, Memorabilia, and Scale Model Railway department. The auctions can be viewed at our saleroom in Leicestershire, with easy transport links via road and rail.  If buyers are unable to attend the auction, they can bid online, via the telephone, or leave an absentee bid.

Our regular Die-cast, Models, Toys, Trains and Aero-engines auction returns with a vast array of different items.

As part of this sale, we are pleased to be able to offer two James Stanley Beeson scratch built locomotives, the LMS class 5F 'Hughes Crab' and LMS class 7F. These incredibly detailed models are made more impressive as they are in the rare EM, or 'Eighteen Millimetre' gauge, used by modellers dissatisfied with the inaccuracy of standard OO gauge.
