Most estimates for the objects range from £50 to £200.
However, offers for the bar and gantry from the Port Sunshine, where much of the film’s action takes place, are being invited on application.
The auction will be held at Mulberry Bank Auctions in Glasgow, on 25 March, to coincide with the US release of T2.
Kirsty Harris, auction house director, said: “I like the idea that people have the chance to own a barstool, or a pint glass, or, depending on how much space you have, an entire Trainspotting bar, all for a good cause.”
