PieGuyRob Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 After completely forgetting why I was looking for the HST with the milk churn, and, water crane, I found this:- https://www.goodwoodscenics.co.uk/product-page/scrap-virgin-hst-125-diesel-locomotive-f3 this https://www.goodwoodscenics.co.uk/product-page/scrap-hst-125-diesel-locomotive-f6 this https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1373691476/oo-gauge-scrapyard-class-43-125-hst?show_sold_out_detail=1&ref=nla_listing_details They are sold out, but, the prices are astonishing. The guy with the HST's is Halden Yard, the rusty flock guy is 3 Seas Collectables. Unfortunately I couldn't find Mr. Wolf's HST with the water crane and the dubious guy with the milk churn. If anyone is interested, the post I'm on about is on the 22nd December 2022, at the bottom of page 1407, in this topic. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 You're probably better off having a drive round the neighborhood and looking out for the stuff people leave on the pavement as scrap metal or free to a good home. Or looting skips like some ebayers obviously do... 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least those do appear, as far as I can tell on my postage stamp sized screen, to be a reasonable representation of how diesels fade and weather if left standing for a long period. We'll leave aside the actual likelihood of seeing an individual HST power car in that state. The work does also appear to have been done carefully and probably represents a fair bit of time on the part of the maker, so the prices are somewhat understandable from someone charging their time at even hobby business/cottage industry rates. I wouldn't want one myself, but Rule 1 applies. Certainly a bit different from dipping a GBL/Dapol/Airfix junkbox model in glue, then rolling it in dried tealeaves. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From people who follow ebay listings - they see a genuine Hornby example and, as theirs looks vaguely similar... Wolla! Price inflation! No ok. They've found a genuine Hornby box for their sad little thing (Look, it fits the tray) and priced accodingly. Mendacious Chiselleling at its finest! 9 hours ago, TinTracks said: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116193564246? Nice item here for anyone modelling the Liverpool Overhead Railway Dingle Extension.

It's practically finescale. No, actually that probably doesn't help very much. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
