There's still a bit of O gauge Hornby on Trade Me but the sellers are asking stupid money for good pieces.

My wife bought a box full that had been found in a garage - some is a bit rusty but most looks like it will be restorable. Three wind up locos among the bits.
Edit - locos look similar to the ones in the pics: 0-4-0 with tender

Sold a pile of it last month on Tm $1 reserve ended up getting more than we paid for it so people will pay what ever..
There is a guy in pamly that repairs and restores he did the green engine for us and other bits and pieces
