Apologies to all these items are 2½ inch Gauge not 3 inch as previously displayed

Yes, Can you help us identify the following Vintage 2 1/2 inch Gauge Southern Electric locomotives. These have been in the same family since 1970 and alas the history has been lost over time. Any help you can give would be appreciated as these items will be placed in one of our specialist railway auctions early in 2019
