None.  Have you seen the prices asked for even ordinary examples on Ebay?!!

 

otoh, I DO have a Hornby Dublo "Silver King" (3-rail, naturally) which is now in honourable retirement.

Five is the basic minimum for civilised existence.

 

A silver LNER version

A blue LNER version.

BR early crest single chimney

BR late crest double chimney

One other of choice (like N E black double chimney)

 

Of course double the number and the pleasure is far, far greater!

None,


Wrong railway,


To heavy for the lines loading,


Not many expresses on the line (and I doubt if they topped 60!!)

60011 delayed "on shed" at Margate depot.....shortage of footplate staff,leaves on line,local difficulties etc.,etc .? Better late than never,I suppose.

Six, soon to be eight. I do know of at least three people who do / did own a Hornby model of every A4, one being Mr Allatt, and another having a good chunk of the A3 and Peppercorn A1 fleets too (all late BR of course).
