Tried to book, all went a bit Pete Tong - tickets in my basket but something wrong on the website - I can't buy and I can't start over. Seems it couldn't compute that for NEC I would go from Warrington and get a discount but for GETS I will go from Manchester and not have a discount. Oh well try again tomorrow.

Chrisr40 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Hope you get it sorted wooden head. £6.80 from london to Birmingham is bonkers cheap when it costs me double that to go from medway towns in kent to london. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Scottish-Exile Posted September 11, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 11, 2019 Just got an email from TfW that they are doing a Club 50 offer, £29 return. So looks like I can get a bargain trip to the NEC for Warley https://tfwrail.wales/club50 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good deal if you are a full paying adult but for the many seniors and some students attending who own railcards the railcard discount is greater. (Railcards can’t be used with this offer).

Sorted, but I've decided to go a little later for £10 and return first class for £19 so I don't have to cram into a Voyager at 6pm. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damo666 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 eBay Freightliner store https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/freightliner_store has the Bachmann Class 08 08624 for £95.00 and postage of £2.20. Both cheaper model and postage than most other places. Also, look out for a redeem code to get another £5.00 off. Mayby this is unique to each eBay buyer, don't know, but I was able to use it. It was placed in the middle of the screen around where it says 'Click & Collect'. Cannot find it now (as I've used it). Total price with voucher £92.20 inc delivery 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISW Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hobbyking is having a (late?) September Cybersale. Seems to be plenty of scenic items available. Just be careful about which 'warehouse' you are choosing from, as that can (adversely) affect the shipping cost/time. I just chose from those items in the UK warehouse. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/2019-cyber-september/vehicles/train.html 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hound Dog Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 In Lidl this week are these handy LED Reading glasses which come in a range of magnifications and include a spare set of batteries, and all for about £3 if I recall correctly……..these are ideal for the wee jobs where one struggles due to a combination of age and poor light conditions. 5 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Torper Posted October 8, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) Plenty of interest coming up in Lidl from Sunday 13th, First, their Parkside soldering station - £19.99. 48w, "finely adjustable" 200 - 450C temperature range with with three presets, soldering iron and holder with two spare tips, 2 reels of solder and a 3-year warranty. At that price must be worth consideation though I'd probably be a bit concerned as to availability and range of spare tips. Secondly, their cordless soldering iron at a mere £6.99. It claims a temperature range up to 450C. This might be useful for a prtable or exhibition layout though I think I'd keep a conventional iron at hand just in case.... And finally, their delightful Profi Precision Tool Kit at £5.99. I've got one and it is really quite classy - 35 pieces including a Magnetic hex head bit holder, Flexible extension (for clockwise use only), Magnifying glass with 2.5x magnification, Stainless steel mini diagonal pliers, Stainless steel tweezers, and 30 S2 steel precision bits, 28mm. I really love mine! DT Edited October 8, 2019 by Torper 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
