amdaley Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) Oh now that takes some beating, even for Gostude himself. All I can do with him is smile. He must have a jockeys neck charging those prices. Edited April 11, 2013 by amdaley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) I'd expect buffers for £595! It's supposed to be Canadian - they don't use them! Very rare, but very expensive and very cr@p. Edited April 11, 2013 by Il Grifone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Hughes Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 It's supposed to be Canadian - they don't use them! Very rare, but very expensive and very cr@p. Sold, if I remember correctly, by Simpson Sears in their Christmas catalogs (yes, correct spelling!) a few years ago. As he says, they were usually sold in sets. In a similar vein, many moons ago Hornby Dublo tried to pass off their Duchess as a CP pacific. Bought, then as now, by the gullible! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he says, they were usually sold in sets. In a similar vein, many moons ago Hornby Dublo tried to pass off their Duchess as a CP pacific. Bought, then as now, by the gullible! And not very many of them, which is why they're now rare and collectable. At least Hornby added a headlamp and pilot (still didn't fool anyone!), but you can get repro bits to make a fake your own version.

I would agree with £25, unboxed a lot less. Possibly got it mixed up with the later SD6 Restaurant Car, which is rare. That didn't come in crimson and cream however.
