Great video. Lovely to see the often neglected little Holden's turned in to the stars of the show. I have picked up loads of them as they are fun to collect. Most are basically new in box with the wheels as clean as they left the factory. The cheapest 'new' one was £7.50, the most expensive £15, including some which were actually new from retailers. I also have some which have had a hard life or been repainted rather well, and these are equally as interesting. Makes a nice digression from my Accurascale and Bachmann stuff. Will explore more of your channel later 😃
@@barryhumphriesinc.broughto3098 yes, I've been trying to get the Ford one for a while to. They do come up, generally very yellowed, but tend to go for over my £20 self-imposed limit. If someone had a mint one with no yellowing then I think I would be tempted to go quite a bit higher.

Thanks, part 2 is in 4 weeks time. I am still trying to get the white 'Ford' version. Apparently it is quite rare.

@@KellinoRail Yes, I have a limit too, but would also break it for a good white one😁
I never knew what they were, I turned mine into grotty engines
I think they are modelled on a one-off loco built in the early 1900's. Seems a strange choice but that's Hornby I guess😁
