HiT Sir Handel, Duncan and Flora - hystudio - 05-04-2020

Bought 3 new-in-box HiT engines for ~28 usd total. I found them on the 2nd-hand online marketplace in China. They are sold as factory clearance.
They are in great condition and from what I can find on the trackmaster wiki, I think they are legit.

Very nice finds Hy, I never knew that Flora was sold by herself.

What is the name of the marketplace?

@Trainboy90 It’s an app called xianyu(闲鱼).It’s owned by alibaba. It’s in Chinese and sellers only ship within China.

Here’s the item’s link for reference.

Thanks, I found it on ebuy7 and only 1 is available so I'll just as well buy the last one.

It actually said "Sold" on the actual listing.

TOMY and HiT Toys should've had more consistent designs for the narrow gauge engines. Since Skarloey and Peter Sam used fake coupling rods to show where the rear driving axle would be, I never got why they didn't do the same for Sir Handel. I'm still surprised they used the "Thomas type" drive unit for Duncan despite the shape of his cab, and how he should have the same proportions as the others.

Personally, those who want the Skarloey Railway should settle for Capsule Plarail or Take Along/Take 'n Play instead for better results.

Skarloey and Peter Sam can be modified with moving siderods. I still stick to Tomy/Trackmaster as usual.
