Horsetan Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Interesting one that. I can imagine it truly is one of a kind in terms of its position in the design chain, but is it worth £500? I'm more surprised it's in the hands of a private collector, to be frank. Do Hornby normally sell off their pre-production models...? ....or has someone just stripped off the paint on a standard model, and then hoicked-up the price?

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted February 16, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) No connection with the seller but heres a buy it now for someone who may have missed out on the NRM City of Truro. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item27c3916fb5 Too late its gone !

CWJ Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Would you give £500 for this? It isn't even painted!! (Yes, I do know it's one of a kind, but I'm a user, not a hoarder - I appreciate it might have rarity value to the latter). Right, bye bye chaps, I'm off to strip the paint off my models and sell them all for £500 each. See you in Barbados. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4ab420ec8a Well, at least this 'realistic' hedge is cheap enough... (Although it looks less like a hedge and more like a bit of stripwood rolled in green scatter to me ) If that's the "deluxe" hedge, I'd like to see his standard model - presumably a piece of stripwood coloured in with a green felt tip pen. Or maybe he also does a 'budget' range, i.e. just a piece of stripwood. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted February 17, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 17, 2012 If only those that put up railway model rubbish and their half-witted jibberish descriptions, also our friends from the 'antique' trade were to look on here, I wonder if it would make them think when they saw the ridicle that they expose themselves to...............probably not........! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Yes, I do know it's one of a kind, but I'm a user, not a hoarder - I appreciate it might have rarity value to the latter). I asked the seller if he had any documentation to back this up. His reply No certificate as this came as part of a job lot of trains I purchased a few years ago. You can see I have been selling on E-bay for a number of years by looking at my other site TRAINZNTRACK09. I only have this account as I get the free listing weekends and it saves me upto £40 a month in fees. Hope the pictures are enough proof. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've put a bid on. I saw that someone had bid on it, my thought was "they must have thought the wheels are worth 99p".
