Bure have a Hornby Maunsell Pull-Push set for under 60 quid, which is pretty cheap:-

I know it's not the bestest coach model ever but Hattons have the Hornby RR Mk2e BSO in B/G for a mere 12 quid a pop:-

These are the ones where you get a free solebar with every coach, I think... I'm not terribly fussy about correctness, but these are a step to far even for me.

 

Meanwhile. the constant trickle of new additions to the Hereford Models web site is keeping me diverted in lockdown.

 

If anybody went for one of the GNER HSTs they had a few weeks back and wants to extend the rake (and make it a bit more correct), they can now get a TGS to go with it from Hereford (3 left at the time of writing...)

 

(Edited to add: they all seem to have gone now)

Thanks for reminding me to look at Herefordshire again.  It's been getting hard to find an Oxford N7 in lined BR below £100 lately and I've finally decided I will give one a try.  They had 2 in stock but I've just made sure it's only 1 in stock now.  £92.50 + p/p

Cheaper here though and free p+p: https://www.derails.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&filter_name=n7&product_id=2229

Hornby R2744 BR Schools class "Blundells", £84.95 from Hereford Models and six in stock: http://herefordmodels.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=340_350_354_351&products_id=5367

 

Also 3x 8 ton GWR cattle wagons (pristine or weathered) for £28

 

Will it never end lol.... I may as well set up a direct debit with Hereford, the amount I'm spending there :rolleyes:

 

...and just to show I'm not just a Hereford fanboi, over at Kent Garden Railways they've still got a few of these 'new at old prices' items as well, for example the Bachmann 3 pack of 13T tipplers for 34 quid:-

Most of the bargains are going now. 

 

I had my first hiccup with Hereford models today, ordered a Jinty, received a 45XX.

 

Ive emailed and asked for an exchange hopefully I hear back soon.

 

EDIT : All sorted :)

Lendons of Cardiff have some quite attractive prices on Hornby drive units - the newer type. Class 59 for under £7 and 2-bil for £9.98.

 

John.

Had never heard of them.  A link for others who might not have either:  http://www.lendonsmodelshop.co.uk

 

Looks like it could be a good source for spares.  
 

I wonder if the likes of the 2-BIL power bogie is self contained, i.e. picks up from both rails?  If so perhaps it might have potential for, say, industrial shunters in 4mm or locos in O16.5?

I've had a few dealings with them, they're often less expensive than other spares dealers. Also very good service.

I needed a part for a loco which I struggled to find elsewhere (there were some variations to the Hornby tooling, so the reference number wasn't reliable and I didn't want to buy on-line and then find it was wrong). Took it to Lendons and they asked if I could leave it with them, as they needed to look through their 'collection of bits' to see if they had the right item. (Said that when a loco goes to the big train set in the sky, they try and salvage as much as they can for repairs, just in case).

 

I came back about 10 days later to see if they had managed to find what I needed, and they handed me the loco all working. No charge either!

 

Even though it's a bit of a journey for me, I found them to be very approachable and I've since gone out of my way to buy from them . Wish all shops were that friendly, some I've walked into and I feel like that stranger who walks into a saloon in a western movie.

 

Lendon happy customer.

Sadly they could be offering it for £1 and I wouldnt be interested.

 

At a show last year at the derby roundhouse I purchased a Class 20 with sound spilt from Permenant Way set. Advertised as brand new, I got it home to find 2 front buffers had been glued on. I only wanted it for the chassis and the price wasn't bad, but I thougt it was bad form to sell something as new that clearly want. Furthur evidenced by the fact its DCC address was 88. I didn't bother complaining but I wont use them again.

Any time I've had a problem with them (very little) they have been most helpful, including buying a non-working loco at a show.  You should have contacted them and given them a chance, rather than belittle them on here.
