Interesting Ebay Find.

I watch UK eBay like a hawk for Japanese N gauge stuff; it doesn't pop up very often but it is a cost-effective way of getting it. This has just been listed:

https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Boxed-tomy-tomix-n-scale-2101-locomotove-/263265496001?hash=item3d4bd8abc1%3Ag%3AwH4AAOSw4BxZ5I-R&_trkparms=pageci%3A5c665e36-b38e-11e7-8666-74dbd1802be4%7Cparentrq%3A2c8d212f15f0ab64c33e02a3fff950de%7Ciid%3A3

 

It is a fairly crude representation of an ED75, but I believe it to be one of Tomix's very first models from the 1970s or possibly 80s. Is it rare or collectible at all?

 

PS- there's also a Kato Kowloon Transit train up at the moment, currently going for £240! I believe these are like hen's teeth though.

Yup, it's an early "Made in Hong Kong by Kader" model from the mid/late 1970s. Not particularly rare, I  picked one up cheaply a while back because I'm curious about these things; if you just want a model of an ED75 there are plenty of better alternatives (starting with the 1979 Eidai version).
