Mine arrived today. I guessed at that price they were old bodies, but hoped otherwise. They are good enough for me for £100 with free postage, would struggle to get that on ebay even for the old ones. I have lots of 33/2's, a handful of 33/1's and only two dodgy 33'0s before these two so they will add to the collection.
Guess they are using up old stock at the Heljan factory. Very odd though, probably a logical story that has been poorly communicated, but given world events I am not surprised.
All in all, I am happy and will keep them. Finish looks excellent so goes a long way to hiding the obvious balls up.
