History and use
The model is a SNCF (Société nationale des chemins de fer français) 150 X 2-10-0 locomotive. Known as BR 44 Class locomotives in Germany where these locomotives were built between 1926-1949, the French were given nearly 300 of these locomotives for reparations after the Second World War. They were classified as 150 X by the SNCF.
Bockholt produced both Deutsche Reichsbahn BR 44 and versions in SNCF liveries for this model in 1980. They were ordered by Fulgurex.
The T-House model rail collection is a collection of national and international significance due to the size, quality and scope of the collection.
The collection, assembled over 30 years from the 1970s to the 1990s, holds 10 000+ models of locomotives, carriages and wagons. The collection is in excellent – often mint – condition. The models were collected by Mr Marsden Williams, who was born, raised and spent his life in the Wollongong area. Mr Williams was a business man who was renowned for philanthropy, he was an intensely private man, who nevertheless was well connected across the Australian business world. His 40 year fascination for model railways reflected his own interest in precision engineering, and his financial success allowed him to pursue his interest to a remarkable extent.
