Not that bad really; they don't sell that much and two neutrals in the last year seem to be down to a buyer not reading the listing properly or the seller not being able to send it due to the lockdown in India.

Still a nonsense price though.

You can get it cheaper than that; he has listed it twice, with different photos https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133886290071?hash=item1f2c3ea897:g:gjkAAOSwtkVc~dCX

 

"Vintage 0-Gauge clockwork M7? Not seen one of those!"

It scales out at Gauge 1.  I'm curious as to who made it, B-L possibly?

Bing for Bassett-Lowke in both 0 and 1; looks more like the Gauge 1 version:

than the 0 Gauge version:

The chief tell-tale seems to be the wheels.

 

It's about the same as the difference between 00 and N in the 1970s.

Got an R3911 the other day when ebay was having their 20% off offer for about 60 quid. Naturally it didn't have a sound decoder inside, but I've got a Hornby TTS Valenta decoder that I haven't installed in an HST yet.

 

Or perhaps a Coronation Pacific decoder instead...

 

Might be fun! :crazy:

Standard rocket railways, and yet they're the ones screeching about how they make model railways affordable and that Hornby need to stop trying to make models detailed so they can save the hobby or whatever..

Should have described it as rare, I doubt many people would try to sell it in that state!

 

Looking at it, less RARE!!!* , more Overcooked.......

 

* Perhaps it should have been "L@@K!!! RARE!!!", which is the correct way to describe such things!

I had better keep mine under lock and key if it is worth that much!

A limited edition for Harburn Hobbies and Model Rail from 2010, but there were reputedly 510 made so not all that rare.
