A very large box arrived here from Dapol / Lionheart just over an hour ago.

Yes, Garry was right to tell me not to doubt, the 64XX and St Ives Branch B set coaches have arrived.

 

To avoid thread drift, I will take the discussion on the items to the appropriate threads on the forum.

All I can say about both the loco and the coaches is wow. It has to be one of the nicest, most well constructed locomotive that I own in any scale.

 

Just a reminder that Lionheart are still offering the St Ives B set of coaches for £200


https://www.lionhearttrains.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=53

 

They are still an absolute bargain for that price with interior lighting, a working tail lamp, die-cast bogies. They are superbly finished.

If you have any O gauge BR Western Region tank engine, these are not to be missed. The correct tank engine would really be the forthcoming 45XX from Dapol / Lionheart. I will be eagerly awaiting these to be delivered.

 


it’s certainly a box that I didn’t manage to sneak past my wife that’s for sure!

Jim,

 

You need to respray it yellow and brand it Network Rail Heritage  :-)
 

Mines staying in the box for now.

 

 But it'd be worth inspecting and testing it now, before deep storage.....:jester:

Discovering it's a non-runner when it's out of warranty wouldn't be funny

That is cheap! Kinda tempted to have them to make my 3 steel carriers a train before my Accurascale ones turn up.

 

These container wagons are cheap too I think, as they should come as pairs (no responsibility assumed if they don't :blush:):

http://herefordmodels.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=369_370_377_386_389&products_id=6922

 

Just over £30 a pair and I am pretty sure they are 60ft wagons so a good £/m ratio.

You and I both, I picked up the Railroad TTS one. Looks like several people have had a lot of joy out of Clark’s which is good.

If you place something in the basket and go through the checkout it shows £4 delivery on the single item i placed in there which was a Dapol 73. HTH

Didn’t for me, when I clicked check out it said they are not taking online payments and you need to ring them to place the order.....odd.

 

Also get the message “sorry unable to deliver to your country”......I knew Cornwall was remote but that’s just silly :lol:

I was thinking about the format of this thread following on from newbryford's reminder regarding its purpose. Personally, I recently missed out on the Lionheart deal which I thought was absolutely fantastic. I know that I looked at the latest updates on the page on the day, however I didn't check back on the thread later on. The main reason for that was because all of the updates to the thread were around the subtleties of the Amazon pricing algorithm, none of which contained a bargain and to be honest with you I got a bit fed up with checking back constantly as it felt like people would just keep posting along those lines for the rest of the day.

 

We are getting to a similar position again now. The odd poster is putting up individual items, but the majority are from the same location - Ellis Clark and Hereford Models. Thats great, but in amongst that there are various posts on items that people have had (including the Lionheart models), opinions on whether something is a bargain or not (including myself in that!) and queries over postage charges for individual suppliers, to name a few.

 

Is anyone here familiar with the site hotukdeals? I can't help but feel that the format there would greatly help the content of this thread. This question is really addressed to a moderator, but in essence would there be a possibility to have a dedicated section of the forum to bargains akin to the Modelling Questions, Hints and Tips that this thread sits in now? When a bargain is found, people just simply start a new thread within that section and any discussions or feedback from that bargain is contained within that specific thread. Then, the core topic at the top remains the bargain, and this can be edited by the original poster should they wish to add any further bargains, along with the discussion below.

 

For example - you would have a Ellis Clark thread started by the original poster who posted the link to it initially. Then, any discussion on bargains from that page, or any links to bargains from that site would all be contained there. They wouldn't be in the thread dedicated to, Hattons, for instance, so you are not having to trawl through pages and pages of comments not related to bargains - you can literally just go to individual threads and find what you need. Likewise, you wouldn't receive notifications for threads that you didn't want to follow, such as the `A. Oakes is no-where near where I live so why are you posting about it' brigade. The threads will rise and fall as and when new bargains are posted. 

 

What do others think of this?

Don't be hard on them, they've read about the the problems you are having getting supermarket deliveries and are taking a leaf out of their book!!
