They seem to be factory rejects...printing, stickers, packaging, and production mistakes, but also just the shoddy ones too...
Here's another one that looks interesting with a simple change in an appointment:

1) The wheels are the wrong colour, and are meant to have a Bulleid Firth Brown texture like Neville's (drop-shaped holes instead of spokes).
2) The siderods are missing the special part that's meant to give the allusion that they're connected to the crankshaft.

Yep, that's the seller.
RE: Trackmaster Dennis variation - Miksolo - 05-30-2016
I should've noticed this before. I always thought the wheel color looked off on these listings, but since I didn't know much about early Trackmaster I didn't think much of it... I wonder now if it actually is a fine, working non-knockoff engine that's just been tinkered with, or a cheap clone.
I probably should've known that something was up anyway, since Dennis does have one-of-a-kind siderods, but I had completely forgotten that. Now, why would honger_hehe be selling some genuine new items as well as cheap knockoffs and/or modded engines???
