I presume there were more in the toy section. It seemed to be £50 (or maybe £49.99) Edit - and indeed there was a collection of them in the toy section. I think they were £60 though, not £50. They had an 0-4-0 trainset on offer last year, I've not been keeping up with Lidl offers recently so I don't know if they're doing it again this year. Aldi had the Railroad Javelin trainset this year for £80, but it was online only and sold out too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could follow the order instructions and give us a call by telephone and we can sort it out the old fashioned and friendly way where people talk to each other if that helps?

People keep saying that Hornby name some of their other "clockwork" mice after Marrilion performers and such, but those names don't mean that much to me. R. Starkey & Sons? Crikey! Perhaps Hornby could have produced a CD to go with the set with Ringo narrating a short story of a day on the branchline with the Country Rambler....

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted November 27, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 27, 2019 On 22/11/2019 at 16:47, john new said: LiDL have their Parkside bench/table saw in my local store at about half-price (IIRC £49.99 dropped from £99). However, whether it is a bargain is perhaps debatable as the on-line reviews of it on some DIY forums are not very good. Any views on (a) whether it is OK for infrequent users and (b) if you can easily get new blades? I don't know what Lidl are like but Aldi's after sales service is good with replaceable parts available for electric tools (don't know how detailed they go though) I'd be surprised if the blade isn't a standard size (it's easier for the manufacturer!) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butler Henderson Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) Lidl's after sales service is good - either the item replaced or refunded IME. The trick is ensuring the receipt is still legible. Edited November 27, 2019 by Butler Henderson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick is ensuring the receipt is still legible. Fading is quite common and quick on Lidl's - and probably others - receipts. I usually take a quick pic on the digital camera and leave in a file on the computer. That way you have the info that can be verified on their own system in the result of a warranty claim. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
