Strange Prototypes.

I have been tipped off by Coach Bogie as to the next Rails exclusive.
Anybody want a model of the North Eastern petrol electric railcar? The beast that is preserved at the museum in Newcastle I think.
Considering the way North Eastern stuff goes on ebay, I reckon they will sell a few!!
It is a striking beast with a red and white livery and it is pretty in its own way. Unlike the Dynamometer car, it didn't last into BR in this form.
Rule 1 could apply but that will depend upon price!!
Don't get me wrong, if somebody wants to comission this then it is not my place to criticise. I'm all in favour of weird prototypes being done. Hell's Teeth! I would never have thought that the LMS Twins would be made,or the Bullied Raworths, or a GWR steam railcar! but I wonder if the sheer nich market for this particular prototype makes it the comission too far?
I am, with some confidence, expecting to be proved wrong!!!!!
