dan_the_v8man Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I've dug my trains out and discovered I've got 2 brand new limited edition Heljan Class 14's in NCB livery, I completely forgot I had them, they've never been out of the box!Any idea what they are worth? I certainly don't need two and I'd quite like one in ex BSC livery Cheers,Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted May 8, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 8, 2014 Less than you paid for them, they didn't sell that well tbh and only sold out from Hatton's a few months ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_the_v8man Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Really? I must have bought them getting on for 5 years ago! Looks like I'd be better holding onto them then!Cheers, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRman Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Put it this way: Hattons have reduced the prices on quite a few of the remaining class 14s they have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talltim Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 How do you manage to have two locos you don't even remember having?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_the_v8man Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 How do you manage to have two locos you don't even remember having?! I bought two of them when they were first released thinking the price would go up like the Deltic Prototype did which in turn would discount the purchase of the first. Bought them, lifted the lid off the box of one of them to have a look and then put them in the loft. Circumstances changed and I moved away from the hobby, all my stuff been left in my ex girlfriends Dad's loft and there they have stayed. Moving on 4 to 5 years I've recently bought a house and with the thought of being able to have a layout again, I went and paid them a visit to recover my locos and lenz control system from the loft. I had some vague memory of an NCB 14 being up there. Went up in the loft and lifted the lid off said Heljan Box and then thought why is there a second box there? Was pleasantly surprised, completely forgot I'd bought two! I'd forgot quite how much stuff I'd actually left there to be honest so it was a good day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd forgot quite how much stuff I'd actually left there to be honest so it was a good day Timex : Rolex. Same number of letters, much in common, but one just slightly more desireable than the other. Hold on to your final thought above. Money spent in the past and the results forgotten, it's all truly a bonus now, since you actually have something to show for it! Generally rising prices for RTR are going to help too in terms of realising a decent value on any items that you want to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_the_v8man Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Thats the case for the 14's, I wish I could say the same about my other rolling stock. My ex's Dad took it upon himself to store the other locos and he's treat them as if they were his triang trains from when he was a lad, all stacked up in a box. The result, numerous handrails broken, fine details bits missing and a Class 60 and Class 31 with broken buffers. Hopefully all repairable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talltim Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 , all stacked up in a box.I'm picturing this 25902, 25154 & 25193 Vic Berry's 24.10.87 by Paul Bettany, on Flickr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_the_v8man Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Yup, it wasn't far off Vic Berry's with my 20's 26's and 33's on the top being the shorter locos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
