Jason I get several emails a day from Rails - each offer is it's own email so rather than an irregular digest of bargains you get bombarded. I don't do the Hattons email as I look at the site most days, Kernow send irregular emails of interesting offers. We need to ease up on what is and isn't a bargain as in most cases it is subjective. 2 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason The way in which you pointed it out perhaps seems a bit rude (especially with the further reply including "sorry but") I don't see why you are making an assumption everyone gets Hattons, Rails of Sheffield & Kernow Model Centre's emails. [Personally I only get Hattons, and have been wanting Rail's for about 2 years, but can't work out how to sign up for them!! - If someone could inform me I would grateful!] I suspect we both share the position of preferring only new bargains to be posted, which makes sense, but it is easy to ignore what is personally irrelevant [as primarily an MU enthusiast, I am very use to doing this already!] 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bargains are subjective - what you see as a bargain is different to someone else. I am also bemused as to why items on an email cannot also be classed as bargains. What if I was new to the hobby, had found RMWeb but had no knowledge of Hattons or Rails of Sheffield? I admit to having gripes at the pricing structure of certain retailers, but that doesn't stop items being classed as bargains, nor does it stop others thinking likewise. Whilst on the subject of bargains, for any members of the Hornby Collectors Club (which, annoyingly, I'm not), I noticed an SECR liveried class H being offered at £99.99: https://www.Hornby.com/uk-en/bluebell-railway-secr-h-class-0-4-4t-263-era-11-Hornby-collector-club-exclusive.html Considering these are being traded on eBay well over £150 on a consistent basis, I'd say that was a pretty good price. I have the R3538 version, and think it's a cracking model - would have already bought this one too if it was freely available.

If you google Hornby R3648, you will find that some stockists have placeholders up for it, but I think thats just in case Hornby decide to offload unsold models into the retailer chain as they have done in the past*. Apart from ebay opportunists, who have a strange view of the value of things, the only way at present to get one at the club price is to join the club! * Or for when they get a s/h one in.

I noticed that too, but would be personally surprised if there are around for long if they did. As I say, the R3538 version is very difficult to obtain - not just in eBay but regular stockists too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium JDW Posted June 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 19, 2019 My guess would be a standard Hornby one, or maybe factory fitted. I'm very tempted to take a chance and put in a bid at that price, I'm surprised its still there to be honest - even the Buy It Now price is good, especially for that version. But I don't need it, and I'm trying to cut back on spending at the minute. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
