Guest spet0114 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Invicta could do with a shot in the arm - give them a call! As, presumably, could any of the other dealers in NF's area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 As, presumably, could any of the other dealers in NF's area. There's a bit more to it than that to be fair. One of the members of staff has been ill. I've no details, I'm just an occasional customer. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Storey Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Pity they have not also offered a BR blue version, as the Sparra pre-dated sectorisation. I would have bought that, as Stratford locos occasionally visited the Sheerness branch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 There's a bit more to it than that to be fair. Plus Invicta have supported RMweb with advertising before so I'm just suggesting what comes around should go around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 If I phone Invicta, even in the early afternoon, what I have purchased usually arrives the next morning. Contrast that to the big boys who take several days. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted June 1, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 1, 2018 Wow, are there really only eleven Bachmann retailers within the M25 now? Or are they just the ones who have ordered the model? That's 45 each in the unlikely event that they all get the same number, which may be quite a lot for a retailer that doesn't normally deal in limited editions, but if sufficiently popular a good shot in the arm for them seeing as how shop rents and rates are generally higher in and around London. Shame it has the Sparra... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame it has the Sparra... My guess is the shop orders the qty they feel they can sell + preorders, and re-order more as they sell. Do Shops like Bentalls do preorders or mail order ? I am only familiar with half of the list of retailers but of those I recognise they arent known for discounting. As liveries go, this is unusual both in model and prototype form. There’s a thread about 37104 here, including a picture of it at Carlisle,I might have one of it at Wigan. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/28492-which-class-37-had-the-railfreight-general-livery/ A quick google turns up pics at Carlisle, Doncaster, Ipswich, Tinsley, Westbury... it got about. As for the sparrow.. if need be a cocktail stick will see it away in 60 seconds or less, add a Tinsley depot plaque.. I think invicta will do well with this one.

NickL2008 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Am I seeing that right?! Northfields model shop is getting this limited edition! good to see the lesser known shops are getting these, hopefully they'll sell well NL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonC Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Are any of the shops offering this at less than RRP? If it's only available at full RRP it's an easy one to pass on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltic79 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Are any of the shops offering this at less than RRP? If it's only available at full RRP it's an easy one to pass on Janes Trains offer a standard 10% discount on all pre-orders. They specifically mention this on their Facebook listing for this model too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted June 3, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) The model is available to ALL shops in the reps area not just selected onesThe Bachmann announcement explicitly states: “Due for release later this year, you can pre-order this model exclusively from Bachmann retailers inside the M25 (London).“ http://news.Bachmann.co.uk/2018/05/railfreight-triple-grey-37-0-sales-area-exclusive/ Given at least two of these shops have other different rep edition 37’s, it’s highly likely there is overlapping territory, and so I would take the announcement to be exactly what it says on the tin...exclusively from Bachmann retailers inside the M25 (London)... regardless the rep. The other clue is in the poster published in post 1.. it names the retailers who will stock it. I wouldn’t expect to see it at retailers outside the M25. Invicta is showing at price of £164.95. I live 3 miles or so from Janes but have never successfully been inside (every time I go it’s been closed). Edited June 3, 2018 by adb968008 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickL2008 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 The model is available to ALL shops in the reps area not just selected ones It has the names of the retailers that they'll be sending stock to, so I wouldn't of thought all shops would be getting these? As the advert clearly states "Bachmann retailers within the M25 area" NL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickL2008 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Pre-ordered one today at Addlestone model centre, the RRP is a lot more than id normally pay, but its to support a model shop I visit occasionally so all for a good cause NL 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
