Jenny Emily Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Cr@p for collectors only! And does anyone want a Hornby Dublo N2 to go with it? http://cgi.ebay.co.u...=item483a23aed4 It's possible that it's not even the original box as I seem to remember paying 59/6d for mine in 1954. (No discount 'box shifters' then, thanks to Resale Price Maintenance). They're not 'rare' or 'hard to find' either. Or, if that one's a bit too expensive, there's this one without even a photo! http://cgi.ebay.co.u...=item483a23b920 It never ceases to amaze me the people who try and sell Hornby Dublo as if anything is rare. From memory, the BR N2 reached 500,000 made over its lifespan? I used to pay £25-£30 for gloss BR black N2s in the late 1990s. To be honest, I wouldn't pay any more now if I was still in the market.The only truly rare BR N2 is 69567 with coal in its bunker (NOT 69550 with coal which are common as muck) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Grifone Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Anyone have any idea what could possibly be "RARE" about this. The 'Hornby' branding doesn't wash IMHO. http://cgi.ebay.co.u...=item4cf230cf24 The GF coach looks like a close relation of Hornby's strange 00 3 compartment effort. The original GF 00 4 wheelers were definitely of the 'chop a bit off each end of a bogie coach' variety. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't insanity described as doing the same thing again and again, but expecting a different outcome??!! It isn't just trains that seem to get listed in this way over and over again. There's some-one with a vinyl copy of NOW 34 who lists it over and over again with a starting price in the region of £120. The thing is, I was under the impression that Ebay charges a listing fee each time so that quickly gets expensive for the seller. I think they only let you relist it once for free if it doesn't sell.
