lol, I thinks theirs 2 on ebay at the moment, You had to be a bachmann club member to buy it direct......
Until bachmann took over, railfright class 31's and 20's were highly sort after.
The original TPO's were very hard to come by and went for silly money too.
NSE 101's, 159's and mk2 coaches were also hard to find.
The mintrix MGR's were also rare to come by
nse stuff is only rare cause tank owns it all!! ;D
:NGaugeForum:
LMAO
Actually, I used to think that NSE Class 50's were rare, but they pop up everyone few weeks on eBay lately. I completely agree with Porkie. The original TPO's are selling for over £20 each now. I have three I think.
whats your opinon on future classic`s, so i can buy some now hehe :)
:NGaugeForum:
8yrs ago I brought, according to gaugemaster. The last Kato eurostar set in the uk 8)....
But these still fetch silly money now. And the extra add on set goes for more than the eurostar set and its only 4 car set >:(
As for a modern classic matt....
I would go for........
regional railways class 153 DMU by Dapol could be a good choice..
yeah, the 153`s look good, as do the 156`s. i also like dapols voyagers in virgin livery, i know they did afew different names in these. :)

I would love one of these, but not a priority on my list at the moment. :)
I would say, but I'd like there to be the possibility of there being any such Items with traders!
Certainly the Blue Steel 60 and DRS 33 are not as rare as people make them out to be for starters
If you want something that will be a classic in a few decades, I'd say the weathered Dapol silver bullets

Good choice paul,
Saying that...
The freightliner & GBrf, Container sets are very hard to Get now!

You must remember however, that the dapol freightliner and gbrf sets were both had a slight bow in the wagon, and were avoided by many.
Their rare nature is owed more to the very limited production run (250 of each number)

There are lots of ****RARE**** or >>>L@@K<<< collectable items on ebay on a daily basis, unfortunately they are usually sold by predators who know that there are a lot of gullible muppets out there who cant (or are too lazy to) do a bit of basic research on the computer they are currently vegetating in front of! :evil:
I would say one of the rarest things about at the moment is the Dapol Gresley teak buffet cars. Been after one for a while now but not paying £48.00 or so for what they go for on a well known auction site, will wait for the new batch to be released later this year.
Unpowered, purely decorative Del Prado models of the Brighton Belle Pullman driving car go for £25 and more, likewise the French Picasso railcars. They are probably no "rarer" than the other models (they probably made exactly the same number of all of them), just more desirable.
cjm class 92 looks nice...not seen many about
:NGaugeForum:
I have a few rare Farish items that you don't see that often including the Strath-Clyde liveried 101, the porterbrook deltic, London Transport Pannier tank, crimson Crab, Waterman Class 47 and various others that escape me at the moment.
I went through a phase where I was buying most of the new Poole built stuff as it came out and it is all currently stored away for that layout that never seems to get built ::)

I know what you mean! I've been waiting 2 years, but you must have been waiting longer if your models are mainly from Poole! ;D

Thats ok Matt,
The wife doesnt visit this site :smiley-laughing:
I brought her 4 yrs ago, I think it was £375 which included buffer beam detail too on number 1 end.
Tank,
I will have to take some pics for you :thumbsup:
My 59 is 59103 village of mells wearing the Hanson livery 8)
Looking forward to them. I have a 59 as well (kit built, not CJM quality). It's in Revised Yeoman livery - although it quite poorly done by whoever did it. I'd like to get it resprayed to Original Yeoman or maybe Original ARC livery.
Ok tank,
Here's a pic of my Class 92 and 59 on my old layout..

CJM.....Expensive....but beautiful models :thumbsup:
Love the Hanson Livery :thumbsup:
You can really tell right away that they must be CJM. Superb detailing, and crisp looking paintwork. I totally agree that the Hanson livery looks good on the Super Shed. :thumbsup:
Wow, they realy are lovely models...wish I could justify the expense of something bespoke like those.. :NGAUGE:

The MicroAce Nankai Series 50000 Rapi:t EMU is quite hard to come by, but fortunately. A lovely family member (bless their soul) managed to source one for me as a gift that I had on New Years Day. The one in the wooden box set is even harder to find as both were released in 2004. I also have the British Steel Class 60 from Farish that I got in 2009 :). So I guess I have a few unusual models in my fleet, but hence that I am a modeller and not a collector. I run all my trains on the layout rather than them sitting in boxes collecting dust ;). But due to limited capacity on the layout, I rotate the stock around on my roster from time to time :).

CJM are beautiful models.....I would love a 92 1 day :( They are currently £450 fully finished in any livery. As i model WCML Staffordshire in the early to mid 90s i cant really have one, as in the mid 90s they were not cleared to work under there own power on west coast metals. You could always see them on the West coast but being dragged in 2's & 3's by a class 47 from Dollands Moor to Crewe Electric for maintenance and also vice versa.....Sorry, am i being to much of a purist??? hehehe I dont actually know when they were cleared to work freight trains on the WC....Im thinking early 2000???
Anthony :NGF:
i`m not sure on that one either, but....your layout, your rules ;D
