Full Lot Description

Bassett-Lowke Sir Winston Churchill Funeral Train - 4-6-2 streamlined loco & tender BR green 34051 'Winston Churchill', 3 rail 12 volt DC electric, with five 46cm long brown and cream Pullman Coaches ('Carina', 'Perseus', 'Isle of Thanet', 'Lydia' and 'Car No.208' - all of wooden construction, with interior detail). Slight paint cracking on coach roofs, otherwise All Excellent Plus - Near Mint. (6) This train was specially commissioned from Bassett-Lowke by Mr. Timothy Craig Eaton of the Timothy Eaton Company of Toronto, Canada following Sir Winston Churchill's funeral in January 1965. The Eaton family were very well known throughout Canada for their department stores. For many years three of the Pullman coaches resided in The Canadian Railway Museum. The museum has recently agreed to release the coaches in order to complete the train and we are very grateful to The Canadian Railway Museum, to the curator, Mr. Jean-Paul Viaud and to Mr. Peter Aziz for their efforts in making this possible. Mention of the train can be seen on page 62 of 'The Bassett-Lowke Story' by Roland Fuller. The locomotive and one of the coaches are also pictured under construction on page 245 of the book. A unique and very special train
