EBay madness

Not necessarily madness (depending on your viewpoint) but I haven't seen one of these for a while.  IIRC there's also a 56xx in this genre (ie models planned but never introduced by Hornby).

I have one of those in BR green.  It cost around £70 plus  a Wrenn chassis which was, from memory, about £20

 

Now will I be tempted to sell it on E bay?

That one has 31 bids, is at £530 and has 2 days to go. The Collectors' market is a strange place indeed - but it's 3-rail, after all.

These (and the 56xx) always go for £££. The collector's market is strange.....

 

£530 at the moment - Not bad for a 99p start!

It is entirely up to the seller to decide where his/her item may be bought, of course. So "UK only" seems sensible if you believe Johnny Foreigner is invariably a thief and/or vagabond. So why does this cove say "Worldwide" and then append exclusions : "Africa, Asia, Central America and Caribbean, Europe, Middle East, North America, Oceania, South East Asia, South America, PO Box"? Not much world left there, AFAIK.

For the prices he's asking, some of these buildings look a bit, well.... :no: - they make Bachmann Scenecraft look cheap.

 

Crikey Moses, I scratchbuilt this in a couple of hours:

OK it's a bit rough, but it's used bits from a couple of sheets of Scalescenes papers at a couple of pounds each, some Evergreen strip that I had anyway, scrap electrics, some bits of tea packet and an offcut from a laminating pouch so total outlay is minimal!

Strictly it can't even be posted to the UK, as it's in Europe! (That only leaves Antarctica!).
