Mind you I would not buy it unless I could examine it thoroughly first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not to me, but some Dinkie's fetch thousands. If anyone wants a Land Rover, there's one here. No box, but it does have the trailer (and better condition). http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORIGINAL-DINKY-TOY-LAND-ROVER-AND-TRAILER-IN-ORANGE-/181237897829?pt=UK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN&hash=item2a329eda65 And talking of the trailers, I wonder how this can be described as 'clean and tidy" and "original", when the towbar is bent. Being mazak, it is highly unlikely to straighten without fracture. Especially since £19.99 is being asked for it! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DINKY-TOYS-No-341-LAND-ROVER-TRAILER-ORIGINAL-USED-CONDITION-/171148481904?pt=UK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN&hash=item27d93e9570 Strangely Meccano modelled the Land Rover at 38:1 (or so they claimed), so it's no use to anyone as a trackside accessory.

HornbyA3Fan Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Something has caught my eye in terms of madness on eBay. I never knew Hornby made a Class 466 train set before. Somehow it is unique at that price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how descriptions work in the model railway world but the box/packing sure as heck isn't 'mint' as damage is visible so at best it's 'near mint' in my view and in the sort of grading I'm used to. But then we come to an interesting conundrum - that loco, albeit packed under shrinkwrap, looks to me to be gloss whereas according to Pat Hammond's excellent publication the Beatties limited Edition locos were matt. And where's the box lid - I can't remember ever seeing locos in boxes in Beatties without lids although admittedly it's c.40 years since either version (matt or gloss) of that loco were on sale. I do wonder if somewhere along the line something 'clever' has gone on - so caveat emptor in my view, especiaily at that sort of ludicrous price (which puts even a lot of vintage highly collectable Marklin stuff in the shade). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
