From memory and looking at a few photos of class 87. All the class had the original flush fitted headlamp removed and the standard retro light fitted sometime in the 90s
Looking on eBay today most of my collection falls in to the £100 to £200 pound bracket but what does surprise me is the price Wrenn locos still command. I see there’s a Wrenn loco W2314 Sir W Stanier in BR Green bidding up to £820.00.
That's a shame I was going to buy 35018. I just wonder if Hornby are missing a trick here with the real loco just about to renter main line service again. I wonder if they could of sold more models of 35018 against 35014 from people how have travel behind 35018.
Plus if Hornby wanted to push the boat out they could also put a high sided light Pacific tender behind the following loco's 35021/22/23/24/25/26/27. All entered traffic with light Pacific tenders.
If Hornby have decided to reduce the production run on these locos the only people that will gain from this will be eBay sellers. Reminds me when 34001 Exeter came out a few years ago and seeing the crazy Prices on eBay.
I wonder if people are moving away from oo gauge and moving in to o gauge and n gauge. I've started buying o gauge locos due to the increase in ready to run loco being available in o gauge.
Looking on another forum tonight someone has started a thread on is your model railway worthless. I've put a link to this below. What are your thoughts on his subject.

Just got round to opening the box on 92023 today. Great to see a sheet of soft plastic, a lot better than having tissue paper protecting the loco. Is this the first time Hornby have used a plastic sheet.
Thanks
Anyone heard why the delivery date has been put back. Surely if we were look at a delivery date for February then the loco must of been in production or about to start production.
