Hi, I may have in the future once I've decided what parts I can use (I may make refurbished CEPs out of some of them). Mostly I'm after the motor bogies and the trailing bogies as I don't think anybody sells the trailing bogies ready made or as kits. Also some of the chassis as some close coupling units on my Blue Grey CEPs have been damaged seemingly beyond repair. Regards Nick 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Andy Hayter Posted April 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 19, 2019 Not sure if this is a bargain in general but it may be of interest to some who are looking to complete rakes based on old models. Pierre Dominique in France have a sale on old Jouef models including intercity coaches and a D285 diesel. Pages 1 and 2 only apply to save scanning the whole lot. https://www.pierredominique.com/p386-promo-flash.html?promo=1&p_marque=199 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very much the first port of call for long out of production models but this is the first time I have seen UK 00 models on their site. They are also very much on board with latest releases, so they are not just purveyors of old "collectables". 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
