Hi Donald,

Yes, have seen the prices that boxes go for on eBay, and not surprising either.
Hornby Dublo (1938-64 stuff) collecting is all about the box. In fact, I suspect the condition of the box is of equal if not paramount importance to the model condition. Certainly makes sense if you are building a 1:1 scale model of a 1959 hobby shop. smiley: happy

Yes, you are right about collector editions. It makes good sense to retain a certain amount of cynicism.

regards
Kimball
