The juxtaposition of early 21st century technology a graphic style from the 30s and characters from the 30s to the 50s has a bit of a feel of the "somewhere in the 20th century" retro future of Terry Gilliam's 'Brazil', but sunnier....
I imagine that in that Five go Mad in the City, poster they're about to take a wrong turn and find themselves in the city's cyberpunkish underbelly... -
The ones at Dunkeld and Birnam are very low (Highland Railway, unrebuilt), probably only 2' 6". It's a heck of job getting off with a dodgy knee if the portable steps aren't anywhere near the doors.

Messed up quoting, but was going to comment that the was an article in Scale Model Trains around 1988 on modelling Severn Beach. Might make a micro or boxfile these days.

Sandhills (Liverpool),1976-1976, what seemed to be the narrowest island platform in the country, exposed, crumbling and rarely saw another passenger.

Or just use a place name that doesn't have a railway and move it around to different parts of the country. My favourite place name I remember driving through has to be Wetwang.
Wetwang junction anyone?
Wetwang collery
Wetwang marketplace
Wetwang exchange
Wetwang had a station, it'd be pretty straightforward to model it. http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/w/wetwang/

There're the underground sections of the Merseyrail network with Liverpool Central, Moorfields, James, Street and Lime Street, with the line under the Mersey to Conway Park and Birkenhead Hamilton square.
-
If you search for Lima Class 26s in collectables you'll find he's trying to corner the market in those at similar prices.

OO rudeness, this chap has other items on a similar theme.

Well the description's correct:
"A model that your friends will not have on their layout - a burnt out or vandalised guards van."

Not madness as such, though your mind or eyesight would go building a structure of any size.

More optimism from one of the usual suspects, not too well assembled and not even the original tree.
This one doesn't have the tree either, but far more realistic price -

looks remarkably like this http://www.newrailwaymodellers.co.uk/resources.htm (with some of the lines duplicated to fill the sheet) which has been available free gratis and for nothing on another website for several years,

Shame they're not made of wood, they'd make excellent nesting boxes for wild birds.

I got one of these from Ebay today, boxed and in better condition for £2.99 + £2.40 p&p.
-
Starting at 99p, almost worth a punt on if it wasn't for the postage, a real conversation piece i.e. "What on earth's that?"

ANTIQUE SCRATCH BUILT LOCOMOTIVE 'MORECAMBE' 2.5" GAUGE 3, G SCALE?

Off topic, but looking at the photo, how wise would it be to use a 30 to 40-odd year old transformer, particularly the neglected looking item in the picture?

This is interesting....

"This week, I have been mostly chopping up old magazines and flogging the articles"
This chap's at it too.
Could be handy - unless RM do a reprints service.

Something for the weekend. A 'highly attractive' offering from our friend in Cartmel.
At a guess a collector would want something in original condition starting at...say 99p
His trade must come from people who can't be bothered to shop around....

You get the same with Hornby Class 47....

"Collectable 1961 Triang OO Gauge BookSeller Kiosk, Very Good Condition, for Sale"
(a ) It's Airfix (bog standard Smiths Kiosk)
(b ) £5.99 starting price is bit steep
(c ) £8.00 p&p is just taking the wee-wee
All from from trustable_honest_trader....

Thinking about it anything could be described as "collectable" - some strange folks collect their bodily wastes in plastic bags, for example
-
There's something odd about the nature of the beast itself. IIRC Wrenn went out of production in about 1992, apart from the collectors' specials, and I don't think they ever did any complete locos in the collectors' series.
The first Harry Potter book didn't come out until 1997, and the first film until 2001. Therefore it's impossible for the loco to be earlier than 1997, and highly improbable that it's earlier than 2001, unless someone was extremely lucky at guessing the type of loco and livery details. It may be an original Wrenn model that's never been used, but it's a repaint, a 'Code 3' if you go for that stupid terminology.
