Not enough narrow gauge on here, so how about something completely different?  (or perhaps not, given some of the imagination displayed by vendors)

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you 'One of a kind' , a 00-9  Bulleid Q1

"Will look great on any layout".

 

My layout is American-outline O Scale. Shall I send a message asking him how this 'model' is supposed to look great on that? :dontknow: :mosking:

As they did not sell for £500, the price has now doubled to £1000!

There's some nice looking "O" clockwork Hornby items in that box, now it's not really up my street, but having been to many HRCA meeting auctions etc £500 might not be bad value at all.

 

I'am not an expert in Hornby O, but I've seen just one similar engine go for more

My random trawl of all things yellow reveal this.

The madness is NOT putting Network Rail stickers on it - could start the bidding at £2.99 then!

 

Cheers,

Mick

I don't think that is actually painted, I think the paint has been stripped off (badly) to reveal the original yellow plastic.

To be fair, he might have taken it out of the box, he just doesn't remember doing it! I think it's called 'selective amnesia'.

He'd make a good politician!

 

Mike.

Na, a politician would have said

something along the lines of,

"I may have said it's never been out of the box,

but that's not what I really meant"

It could possibly be 'worth' £500, but "chucked in a box" does not inspire confidence. The 0 gauge Hornby compound and coaches are the only items of real interest as far as I can see (possibly the tinplate cars, but they don't count here do they?). The beat up Tri-ang and Dublo items maybe a tenner for the lot? The "eighty years old" is about right, (1930s) but the items do look their age.

Some of the best bargains I've ever purchased were just "chucked in a box", from car boot to toyfairs, best where were traders who use to leave the junk bits in boxes under the counter, I spent hours rummaging through junk to find that very rare item

 

There's a rare Hornby compound but it's not my field of interest

I agree that's very true and I've done the same myself, but £500 is hardly a bargain price.
