I'm fairly sure the new Hornby one was less than that, and was a better representation of the engine? -Peter EDIT: And to continue the Thomas theme: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Daisy-the-Diesel-Railcar-Thomas-The-Tank-Engine-Custom-Built-Model-Triang-Hornby/363342753020?hash=item5498ea6cfc%3Ag%3AOJwAAOSwjSFgZjgU&LH_BIN=1 £160 for a Class 121 made from Triang Class 101 parts (and you also get a face stuck on for good measure). TOC listed as "The Fat Controller's Railway". The Rocket set in a box, with a coach is good...if a trifle pricy... But it seems to be missing the special loco crew, and the instructions. Also I think that this set came with a Service Dealer List as well... A printed face on Daisy...apart from that, and the price, it’s not so bad...

Probably a combination of all five possibilities. Perhaps it's being suspicious from watching "Line of Duty", but consider that antiques/collectibles have long been an effective cover for laundering illicit cash. Your associate buys collectibles cheap and you "buy" them from him for extortionate amounts. Police visit your house and find you've got a huge collection of model trains bought off the internet. The police are hardly going to immediately know that a 50-year old Tri-ang-Hornby Class 37 isn't worth £500, it's an antique isn't it...... 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A printed face on Daisy...apart from that, and the price, it’s not so bad... I didn't know all that about the Rocket model - thanks for the info. The Daisy model looks to be one of the better 101 to 121 conversions I've seen, but it's not amazing.
