RMweb Premium mezzoman253 Posted June 25, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 25, 2018 Keep posting on how you get on with this airbrushing kit. I've today managed to locate and obtain one myself (had to visit 3 Aldi shops before finding any in stock!) and am interested as a complete & total novice at this painting malarkey. Ian Please start another thread if you want to discuss the airbrush. Rather than cluttering this topic. Thanks, Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonC Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Does it not help to determine whether it is a bargain or not if there's some feedback on it too? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've today managed to locate and obtain one myself (had to visit 3 Aldi shops before finding any in stock!) and am interested as a complete & total novice at this painting malarkey. Ian Totally agree, I’ve picked one from Aldi and am a complete Airbrushing novice. Please start another thread if you want to discuss the airbrush. Rather than cluttering this topic. Thanks, Rob Agree as well, and on that note perhaps someone who is a bit more Airbrush savvy or perhaps someone new who has actually got theirs out of the box could start a thread somewhere in the “Skills & Knowledge ” area of the forum!

G. Great deal - even if only using it as a four function accessory/lighting decoder. Just the job for flashing tail lights if you set the lighting CVs. But note - they are a 8pin direct mount so will need a 8 pin socket - or solder direct to the pins. Edited June 26, 2018 by newbryford Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

slngshotx Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Just been for a walk around bourton on the water and accidentally purchased a Bachmann 45xx. They have 15% off a lot of Bachmann and Hornby locos (in-store not online) So my 45xx came out as £72.25 which is a fair bit cheaper than most the online retailers. https://www.bourtonmodelrailway.co.uk/Bachmann-32131-class-45xx-prairie-tank-4539-great-western-green.ir Maybe worth a visit if you're close, or it will pay for a visit to their model exhibit.

RANGERS Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Wickes are also doing keen deals on them, £13.99 for the 64litre or 2x 35 for £15. I usually get mine from Gemini Storage in N Lincs, they’ve usually been the cheapest by a long way but these prices run them close on a number of sizes.

All P4, partly made and probably with bits missing. Seems to be a serial kit builder that never finished things.

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted July 5, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 5, 2018 Probably with bits missing, but for £17 the toplight is worth it for the body alone. Hence why it is now on its way to me! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Seems to be a serial kit builder that never finished things. Or someone who has passed away and the family have sold the models to Hattons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Or someone who has passed away and the family have sold the models to Hattons Even so, fifty or sixty expensive kits half built? Mostly stuff like DJH and Gibson. Almost certainly with replacement wheels. That's a few thousand pounds worth of investment being sold off for a lot less that it would be worth if they were either finished or unstarted. Seems to be someone who started them, got so far, started another one. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GER Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Rails of Sheffield have a Clearance Sale on including , for example ,Bachmann 32-881 for £79.50.

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted July 10, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Rails have a number of Bachmann/Farish items in OO and N. Interestingly they say there will be a delay in dispatch so either factory clearance or some other kind of job lot on the way? The one that caught my eye was OO Fairburn tank for £79.50 + p/p which seems quite good given today's prices for new ones. I already have one and don't neeeed another but you know how things are......https://mailchi.mp/railsofsheffield/Bachmann-farish-clearance Edit: Didn't notice the prev post was the same thing.
