Why would a shop stock so much Hornby (relatively high value compared to their other items) and only list them under "Model Kits"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody said they had ordered from them before no issues. I paid by PayPal so my £120.99 is coming back if it doesn't turn up! I think it's a lot of different stuff not a dedicated model railway shop so that's why I bet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was asking about 2 traders, this one is UK based. The other one was HK based with the customs issues I think. https://www.365games.co.uk/page/about Edited June 17, 2020 by TomScrut 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a few Hornby models from them back in March when they also had a 10% off code. Was unsure at first as it took a whole month to arrive. Not sure if it was to do with the virus or just their system. Either way when adding topcashback plus reward credits, my Virgin 87 effectively worked out at less than £100. Prices tend to fluctuate almost weekly in a similar way to Amazon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of their listings say 7-14 days to dispatch which suggests they have to order it from somewhere else first. Some like the 1:1 black five are same day dispatch so they must have those in stock.

RMweb Premium Coryton Posted June 20, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) Quite a lot of new items have just appeared on the Hereford web site, mostly in one off quantities but as usual with some good prices. No photos, and some vague descriptions (i.e. Flying Scotsman just described as an A3) so you need to do a little work. (Edited to add: as helpfully pointed out below, the name and number are given further down - under the "add" box). Thankfully there's nothing I want there because I've already given them too much money recently. It's good of them to provide some lockdown entertainment though - I've been enjoying coming back every day to see what else has appeared.

Amongst the new stock they have Hornby Large Prairie in BR black (6145) for £119.99 + p/p which is quite a keen price, maybe others have it a bit cheaper but it seems a good price to me. 8 in stock, and I have to say 8 still in stock though I might weaken over the weekend. http://herefordmodels.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=340_350_354_351&products_id=12206 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up, just treated myself to a DCC fitted N15 late crest for 86 quid i.e. about half current list price.

TomScrut Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 There was a BR 4MT on there at what I thought were good prices. And EWS 56s, several of those for about £80 IIRC including a DCC fitted one. Nothing quite suitable for me but some good stuff in there 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder where the heck they're finding this continual stream of new/old stuff - the N15 I've just ordered was released in 2008!

RMweb Gold big jim Posted June 20, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 20, 2020 Honestly if you have ever see the basement in the shop you will understand where these things are coming from! back in about 2007 I got a rake of ‘new’ stock replica railways MK1 intercity charter coaches from there, all at about £10’a pop! Ive got to work a train to Hereford on Thursday morning but unfortunately I get there far too early to justify hanging about until it opens and having a proper look round again 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so I don't get yelled at for not following the rules - here's Hornby R3919 PD Ports Class 66, 66109 'Teesport Express' for 55 GBP. Bure Valley Models http://www.burevalleymodels.com/p/17266/R3919---PD-Ports-Class-66-Co-Co-66109-Teesport-Express - six (6) available at time of posting. No connection to BVM, but previously happy customer and that seems like a cracking price for a new 66, I can't see it anywhere else cheaper.
