MKRob, yes I did, sorry. Will correct original post

They are £5.45 +VAT (still 11 in stock)

 

(if you spend £30 at Rapid postage is free and as it says it's Rapid!)

Seems to be a mis-description on the Rapid site - they are describing them as having limit and polarity switches yet when you look at the technical details the one at £5.95 ex VAT (Rapid code 59-1100) only has a limit switch. The one with the polarity switch is stated as being Rapid code 59-1099 which when you search for it is stated as being discontinued.

Sadly these are the "MFI Pine look version " which are dreadful, enlarge the photo to see what I mean . They are so bad IMHO they should have been withdrawn from sale, hence Rails desperately trying to offload. They could be good to buy, and use them as a base for MJT etched sides, albeit at a lot lower price.

 

Buyer beware.

That's a little unfair and unjust.  MFI Pine was much nicer than that.

They might make MDF on a good day....

My local B&Q store in Fakenham are selling off dulux tester pots for 10p each . May be useful for painting baseboards backscenes etc.

 

Not sure if it is applicable in all stores but looks like dulux have redesigned their tester pots and changed a few names of colours so presumably the old ones are no longer needed hence the 10p price.

 

There was basket full down the paint aisle and a basket full by the tills.

 

Be warned they scan at 50p and staff have to take the 40p off individually on each one during checkout , so if buying lots like me your fellow customers may be waiting a while!

 

My first post on rmweb so bare with me if it’s not quite right!!

I know bargain hunters is usually UK stuff, but for those of a US wont.

 

Sound fitted for less than $100.

https://www.walthers.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=f40ph+sound+walthers

 

With import duty and Parcelforce handling fee, it still looks like a good deal.

 

Cheers,

MIck

Interesting, but so far out of period that I couldn't see it with the Hubble Telescope......

 

If they had one in green, with headcode disks, that would be a completely different kettle of fish!  :jester:

Oh ok, I probably meant split headcode.....  :senile:

 

just spotted that Hatton's have a 'new' news item on the arrival of 'a bulk amount of new-old stock items': 

 

https://www.hattons.co.uk/NewsDetail.aspx?id=270

 

I see this now includes all 4 types of Heljan "Falcon" for £94, reduced from £125.

 

AND the Bachmann all green 37 is there for £117 (http://www.hattons.co.uk/182175/Bachmann_Branchline_32_787_Class_37_0_D6714_in_BR_green_with_no_yellow_ends/StockDetail.aspx)

 

Plus Heljan 58s for £96.

 

Bachmann Class 101s from £94, eg http://www.hattons.co.uk/32710/Bachmann_Branchline_32_900B_Class_108_2_Car_DMU_BR_Green_With_Speed_Whiskers_with_8_pin_DCC_socket_Destinat/StockDetail.aspx

 

Lots to tempt but saving for the Barclays...

Thanks for that. Must have another look at what they have.

 

The 101s are actually £89 and up - not bad at all, especially considering they aren't easy to find new at any price.

 

Edited to add: the Falcons all seem to have gone now.

blimey those Falcons must have really flown (ahem) off the shelves as I saw >10 available of each when I looked earlier this afternoon!

 

the £89 class 101 is the BR blue grey one, very good price, but for some reason when following the link to the 101s from the news page (http://www.hattons.co.uk/stocklist/SiteResults.aspx?searchfield=Bachmann%2032-28%20class%20101) the green one does not appear, but if searched separately it is there, showing as >10 in stock at the mo (http://www.hattons.co.uk/32710/Bachmann_Branchline_32_900B_Class_108_2_Car_DMU_BR_Green_With_Speed_Whiskers_with_8_pin_DCC_socket_Destinat/StockDetail.aspx).

 

worth a search around on the Hatton's site it seems.

 

cheers,

Thats because that direct link is to a 108 not a 101

O gauge bargain 

 

Dapol / Lionheart 2 coach B Sets from the Hobby Shop Faversham are £350 + postage (about £7). Given that these have a list price of £470 and most shops are selling these for £399, this strikes me as a good deal. 4 coach sets are £600 + postage. Again given that these 4 coach sets seem to be £699 in most shops it strikes me as a bargain.

When I have purchased from this shop before the service has been good.
