Y'could have two trips down to London on Megabus Wednesdays for that cost to have a ride and take photos of 'em! :L

The prices of "rare" models always seems so high, and it baffles me that some pay such prices for them. £75 for the Spectra above... Fair enough, only 200 will be made - but what is going to stop another company making them and selling them for a lower price?

I'm trying to think of things I would rather do less than a Megabus journey to London not having much luck! I take the point though, and it was a one off for me.

The £75 for the Spectre is insane. There's a Stagecoach Enviro 400 Hybrid model that's a similar price I think Looking at the world of Hornby too, and you're paying upwards of £100 for a loco. Just done a quick search and they want £110 as a 'discount' price for the new Class 91 model. You could practically buy the land and build a branch line for the same price as constructing a Hornby set.
