    If you think it suitable please add my website to your links page, adding this text “Overlays for Hornby no.1 open wagons, no.1 chassis and Hornby-Dublo 5 and 7 plank metal open wagons”
    Thanks.

    Hi I have a number of Hornby-Dublo items I want to sell, where is the best place to do this. I would also like to find out about potential values before I start to sell on these items. Regards John

      Valuation

      Find a similar item that you want to sell on ebay, click add it to my watch list and you will then see how much it sells for. You can also use BIN (Buy It Now) prices for items to give an idea what the seller thinks its worth although they don’t always sell for this amount. There are also ebay fees and pay pal fees if you use them.

      Go to Vectis auctions and look through their past auctions for similar items and see the price realised. Vectis tend to sell items at the top end of the market, make sure that the condition of your items matches that of the seller. The price shown on Vectis does not show the buyers and sellers premium so what you see is not what you get.

      You can go the many dealers selling HD which are in the links to get their idea of what an item will sell for.

      Selling

      If you have the time, energy and patience you can use ebay but you have to be responsive, pack the items well, give good descriptions with suitable photos, use Pay Pal and run it as a proper business with excellent customer focus.

      If you have some valuable items then an Auction house might be interested but fees can be high. If you have any contacts in the HRCA or are prepared to join, they have 2 or 3 auctions per year with reasonable fees but to get the best prices the items must be in very good condition as these people already have collections and are often looking to improve on an existing item.

      Go to a dealer who will offer you around 50% of the retail value but will take it all off your hands, the good, the bad and the ugly.

    Greetings… your HD layout is precious! I`m just busy also with HD creating a MÄRKLIN HORNBY project with only locos of 50th and 60th:
    The OrientexpressPassengers carried by a Duchess of Montrose and a Sir Nigel Gresley to Dover on a separate british layout – Trainferry – then pulled by a BR01 through a continental landscape

    Hi, Just to advise you that due to BT shutting down their servers our web address has changed to http://www.firstbangormrc.co.uk. The Hornby Dublo pictures are still available on this new site. Regards, Norman

    I have just stumbled across your website in my quest for further information on Hornby Dublo and tips to building a layout and eventually running my collection, currently stored in boxes and cupboards throughout the house. Surprisingly, there is quite a fair amount of HD here in Australia although I havnt found a St Paddy yet!
    Great to find so much helpful advice on one site and thanks to you and all your contributors.

    John Cotgreave.

    Good Morning

    I have been following this Blog for some years now and find that your dedication to the hobby quite extraordinary, well done. We are a small band of volunteers here in Brisbane, Australia and wonder if there is any chance that after viewing the site put a link up via this page. The site is very new and there are a number of area’s that will require more attention, maybe it will give some benefit to a hobbyist that is looking for a group here in Australia.

    Kind Regards

    The following link: http://www.tramcard.com/modrail.html – needs to be removed soon as I have decided not to update the web site. It was paid for and I was not really making good use of it. I will edeavour to keep going the few ‘free’ sites I have created.

    The ‘free’ talktalk site is still under constrction.
    All the best for your good works
