The Barbara Curwen.
A late aristocrat's prized collection of model trains has sold for £244,000.
Lord Braybrooke set up a miniature garden railway 55 years ago in the grounds of his stately home at Audley End House in Saffron Walden, Essex.
He died in 2017 and his family parted with nine of his locomotives to raise funds to improve the railway's facilities so it can keep running for future generations.
