Hornby Golden Plover

[Aussie_Pete]

Folks 

 

I'm not a model enthusiast, but I have come into ownership of a Hornby model train known as the Golden Plover. I am not a model railway enthusiast and have no idea if it's value, so I'm looking for guidance as to its value and if it is worth being put into a specialist auction or simply sold as an enthusiasts toy.

I've attached some photos and would appreciate any guidance you'd be willing to give

It’s an 18/19 year old model, first released in around 2004/2005. Just a big standard BR Class A4. Nothing exciting or outstanding really. Wasn’t limited edition or anything.

Thanks for the info - looks like it will be a standard eBay or FB marketplace sale then and not the specialist auction 🤣

Except for the fact that the decoration and build quality of these early release A4s are MUCH better than those from Hornby's current manufacturers.
