Seems a bit dear if you ask me and a US loco with BR markings? Is it a US loco?

 

There were a number of US built tanks that were brought over to the UK during WW2. They ended up on the Southern Railway, mostly in Southampton Docks.

Am I mad thinking that these would be a bit of fun to go on the fridge?

ha, these are most likely from a signalling training school, or made for that purpose. we use them at work on signaller assements. they are Hornby cataluge images, they are magnetic and stick to the white board!!!

That's more than the "prototype" would be worth!

 

Not far short of the price new (£979)

 

Now apparently they start at £100 - there's one on the web at £595! (Granted an old ad.)

He also seems to have difficulties shipping Peco track beyond the UK. I wonder how Hattons etc manage!!

 

Similar to the over 600mm for First class postage thing, he has had over seas orders before and they have gone awol/been damaged and the hassle for sales ratio he gets is just not worth the agro to mail this overseas, hence thats the get out clause he uses

 

Go in the shop and they are always more than happy to help as best they can, they have a superb range of traditional stuff as well as model railways and are always happy to order stuff in for you

I think the underframes, pickups and the couplings are probably the only Hornby Dublo bits.......and why would he think that a 3-rail loco -suitable only for very large radii - might sell for £175 after all these years ? Rare it certainly is :yes:
