Revell H-1550-695
This model is 1:192 scale, right in between N and Z. First time I've ever seen or heard of this model, must be rare and was probably expensive at the time.
For reference, since ebay auctions and pics disappear after time, it is listed with nearly a $2,000 USD BIN. Rare, but worth that much? Will track this one. Also categorized wrong in the HO scale category only.

Yes, some models are very rare, and I believe this is one of them. I think I've seen pictures of it before , but it's been years. Would be a cool item to have, for sure.

Hey MB, you may be referring to a kit made by Heljan. That's the one that comes to mind for me. It was sold as "HO" but many of their kits weren't really to scale. Look at the size of the HO scale cars. This would be a great kit for N scale.
