“A good investment for the future”.

Record Railway Poster Sale.

A remarkable collection of vintage railway posters and memorabilia has
gone under the hammerafter being found in a small terraced house
in a North Yorkshire town.

The collection was put together by Malcolm Guest, who saved the items
from the dustbin when he worked in Great Western Railway’s publicity
department at Paddington Station in the 1960s.

"The Malcolm Guest Railway Collection"

These images of social history and the irreplaceable archives from GWR
and other regional railways, recording the everyday workings of the railways
from the mid 19th century formed the basis of his collection,
to which he added over the years.

Liz Pepper-Darling from Morphets says the auction raised more than
£400,000, exceeding expectations.

The largest single amount was for a poster of Southport’s Lido which fetched £6,200, while another
featuring Southport in the wintertime went for £4,400.

Trainspotters has its own poster section on our website, full of
Original and Reproduction Railway, Film and Advertising Posters.
