Stout Auctions is proud to offer trains and accessories from the Ashok Rajan collection. Ash Rajan, a standard gauge collector and enthusiast since 2020 got his initial lust for trains via a Gauge 1 Finescale collection assembled from the highly detailed, precision trains of Aster, Bockholt and Fine Art Models. Pure nostalgia shifted his focus from ultra detail to toy-like, colorful and shiny tinplate. It was a child-like joy to go from easels and paint brushes to coloring with crayons and painting with numbers, declares Ash. That obsession ballooned into a collection of four hundred plus entire sets of standard gauge trains drawn from Lionel Classics, MTH, Pride Lines, RichArt, Varney Sirus, Cohen,Jerry Brown, John Daniel, Hendrichs, Robert Thon and Dehanes. Ash admits, Standard Gauge tinplate is this immigrant’s celebration of Americana in its colorful and shining glory.
