Crewe Heritage - 17th to 19th February 2023

Welcome to our 12th online telephone/email auction, which runs from Friday 17th February until Sunday 19th February 2023.

How to bid

Prospective bidders for items in the catalogue (below) need to register with us either via telephone (01242 620020 / 07836 225711) or email (office@railwayana.com or office@gwr1.com) preferably before the first auction day of 17th February 2023.

You will be allocated a unique 'PB' number (postal bidder) in order that you can trace the status of your bid online through the weekend's regular updates.

If emailing to register, please provide your name, full address and a contact telephone number and we will confirm your registration by return.

Previous customers who already have a 'PB' number may use the same number, when re-registering or showing an interest to bid.

Bidders can either leave a firm bid or a 'bid range', which can be activated on your behalf throughout the auction period, should circumstances not allow you to personally engage with us during the sale. Bidding increments are £10 up to £200; £20 up to £500; £50 up to £1,000 and £100 £1,000 plus.

Email bids are accepted any time during the three-day duration and telephone calls can be accepted between 10am-8pm on the first two sale days (Friday and Saturday) - and up to 6pm on the third day (Sunday). Thereafter emails only on Sunday between 6pm-8pm. Any emails timed at arriving at our office after 8pm on Sunday 19th February will be invalid.

Please allow 48 hours after the end of the sale for the final realisation list to be posted, whilst we reconcile the auction, prior to making enquiries regarding successful bids. If you are interested in any 'non-sold' items on the realisation list, please also allow 48 hours before contacting, i.e February 22nd.
