Does any one know where “The Moonraker” 5″ gauge is?

Hi All,

My great Uncle built "The Moonraker" Pacific Class in the 1930's in Swindon in his garden shed with a peddle lathe, I'm trying to find out what happened to it all I know is in the early 1950 he sold in to Beatties of London (which no longer exist) what I could find about it after Beatties went bust from Wikipedia was that it may have been sold in an auction "A museum-quality collection of heritage transport toys called "The Beatties Collection" was auctioned by Phillips with a reserve price of around £50,000". It may have been in this auction but I cannot find out anymore information, if anyone know of it whereabouts (it would be great to know if shes still running) please send me a picture.I hope someone out there can help me.

Best Wishes Steve
