RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted June 30, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 30, 2021 Rare and Unique LT Class 24 Putting aside the question as to why one would wish to repaint a Class 24 into a fictional LT livery, this model can’t be that “rare and unique” as the seller has a second one for sale. Another “Rare and Unique” LT Class 24 Unless of course they are the same model listed twice… Cheers Darius 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another “Rare and Unique” LT Class 24 Unless of course they are the same model listed twice… Cheers Darius I noticed these - aside from the fictitious livery they are also fairly typical of the 'on the cheap' Class 24 conversions that people used to do to Hornby 25s, which basically involved carving off the headcode box without tackling the doors, underframe and roof details that all need changing. It's not that they have no value, but project material such as this has to meet my sub-£20 threshold to be worth a second look. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picture for the second item is also the second picture for the first. One is auction and one is buy-it-now. Sure that's not allowed... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 It's the train set version of Hornby's GWR Holden No.101, chassis turned back to front, cylinders cut off, new tanks etc etc. I like the way that when they reshaped the cab doorways, they left about 2/3 of the GWR number plate on the cab side. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the C14, which it is supposed to be an interpretation of, HAS cylinders, so why cut them off. And where's the coal bunker, may I ask?

A milk tanker that costs how much? He's also offering a set of three of the same Thomas milk tanks for £42, but the difference is those three have the lettering printed in blue whereas the one you've spotted is printed in red lettering and he says that's "Rare". If he can get a collector to pay that for it, good luck to him. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
