Quite why anyone would want 70s Rovex locos remains a mystery to me but the price tags I sometimes see suggest that someone is expected to and quite badly at that.

C&WR Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Dunno, Il Grifone. I've seen those trucks with a locomotive on the back for a lot more in the shops. If one takes off the railway modelling hat I can imagine many a child being really pleased with it. My boy was a few years ago, now he's seven he's a little more discerning!

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted August 3, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 3, 2013 This Hornby L1 seems to be missing a couple of wheels.

If one takes off the railway modelling hat I can imagine many a child being really pleased with it. My boy was a few years ago, now he's seven he's a little more discerning! I wouldn't know about the lorry, but it seems as crude as the loco. The locos used to retail around £3 and I have seen them in Pound Shops. EDIT http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-TEAMSTERZ-1-60-SCALE-HEAVY-ENGINE-TRANSPORTER-TRAILER-KIDS-CHILDREN-TOYS-/360605338899?pt=UK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN&var=&hash=item53f5c0cd13 Agreed the Tri-ang/Hornby locos would be reasonable at £4.99, but this is the starting price.
