I see the Hymek has been sold

Looks like he accepted an offer on it

I dont think it was Anto's £1 offer!

I have done some business with the seller in the past

Removed from my Christmas Card list!

Same seller again, westoys

I mailed him to tell him that the top prices were for R768 Boxed locos as his were not in original boxes as

"they only came in sets" according to him

Anyway let him at it.

Hi Lads,

Apologies for opening some old wounds here...

Back in Christmas 1977 - Yes, 1977 - I received from Santa a C.I.E. Orange Livery Train Set comprising of the R.768 Hymek Class 35 Engine along with two carriages - R.720 Mark 2 Open and R.721 Mark 2 Brake. To the best of my knowledge it was boxed as one set along with track (standard oval) and a cardboard tunnel (I think). There is no record on the HornbyGuide website of this set or the carriages - the engine is mentioned under "Uncatalogued".

Any hows, I still have the engine (in fact I have two) and the carriages.

Thoughts on the value? I see someone selling the carriages individually with a box (not even a complete box or the right one) for £60 each!!

The engines are in need of a lot of TLC and one actually is presently not operational.

Cheers,

Shane McD
