Recommended Posts

Whilst looking for something else on DCKIts website i noticed they were advertising a brand new Hornby Class 56 in RF Construction for £80 that seems a bit of a steal - damaged packaging apparently but noted as new.  Was v.tempted but i think i have enough TBH... that has to be a first!  Hopefully of use to someone...

Found that site to be a waste of time.

Thanks for this, but the item next to it caught my eye...

 

R3050A  class 56 in blue at £120...

https://www.dckits-devideos.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1915&search=R3050a

10 new in stock apparently.

 

 

Shortly after this was posted I placed an order for R3050A.

About 5 mins after the link changed to Heljan 4661 Class 47 Merddin Emrys.

This morning payment shown as refunded without explanation.

Phoned up and got the curt reply, 'don't have any'.

First and last time I will use this retailer.

On Rails website this morning:-

Hornby J15 65477 for £69.50 (plus £4 postage) - last few left.   Shaves another £4.49 over Hornby's own already discounted price.

I would have gone for this if I hadn't bought one already from Bure Valley at £60 plus £5 postage.

Hi all,

 

As mentioned above, we're also doing Advent deals!

 

Some of the items are even stuff that people think are sold out everywhere...

 

Our deals are also not just for one day, we add more each day but they will remain in place until Midnight on Christmas Eve!

 

Today:

EFE Rail Hymeks on offer.

 

As a heads up, we'll be offering the N Gauge Class 17s soon, along with the Hogwarts set with additional coaches.

 

You can see the range here: https://www.kmsrailtech.co.uk/380-advent-deals

We're doing this one with 25% off!

Okay, but the link shared with the code is 20% off 160 GBP - hence the comment it's 130GBP (128GBP to be precise), as opposed to your 150GBP.

 

Still a good price on yours and I like your approach to sales, like you already have the claytons and heymeks ready to go :), but in this case the link shared is more of a bargain...

Not sure if it's a bargain per-se, but Clark Railworks have an 'as new' Brighton Belle train pack, with 3 trailer coaches, for £275. My understanding is that these were quite hard to get hold of.
https://clarkrailworks.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/Hornby-oo-r2987-brighton-belle-1934-train-pack-w-r4512-13-14-brighton-belle-cars

They also have a number of other Hornby train packs with additional coach sets for what seem like pretty reasonable prices.

No connection other than as a previous satisfied customer.

You got more response than I.

No communication at all. Will check my cc to ensure I wasnt charged. Order pending / ignored.

 

Edit1.. Dec 20th order shipped.

 

Edit 2.. Dec 31st, query on delivery, response a fake tracking number, with a further different tracking number showing an address 200 miles from my home, and a date 1 month before I ordered it. [perhaps these Goods were  sent via psychic courier using ESP who predicted a month before I ordered it ? Who knows]

Edit 3.. Jan 2nd ..Told actually there was credit card issue so not shipped, now sold out.

Edit 4.. my response, seven letters, begining with B.

 

i’ll be giving this site a wide berth.

(I have retained proof if anyone would like to see ).

Have any new deals been added in the last few days - using the web address above it seemed to be the same 96-97 items.

 

Really quite surprised if there are new items there is not a banner or something on the website to highlight the latest offers.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Chris.

Possibly of use to anyone building one of Scale Model Scenery's Micro Layouts.

 

B&M are stocking the Really Useful Plastic 77L Christmas Tree boxes for £20

 

Usually hard to get hold of and those that have them are charging £25+ 

 

Knowing the lack of distancing in B&Ms around us, you get Covid for free too! 

 

We went to the Range last week and they had a variety of the long & thin Really Useful Boxes on sale for cheap, £7.50 for the 22l one was ideal for my Micro Layout. Unfortunately these types of stores its a case of going to see if they have it in or not, rather pot luck. 

 

As a further bargain, Rails of Sheffield are continuing their advent calendar - today 4x XC mk3s for just shy of £100

There weren't any in my local big B&M, however B&Q are selling them at £22. If you're after any, get them soon as they obviously vanish very quickly after Christmas!

[Harry Potter set deals discussed]

 

Also if you want a Harry Potter train that looks a bit better than the rather insufficient 2 coaches that in the set, there's a nice pre-order deal at KMS on a six coach set... might a bit more track to do it justice, though :)
 

https://www.kmsrailtech.co.uk/advent-deals/6002-hogwarts-express-train-set-r1234m-plus-4-additional-coaches.html

 

I added just 2 coaches to the 2 coach N gauge set we had running round our desks at work, and it made a huge difference in terms of how it looked.

Morning all. We hope you’ve had a good weekend!

 

We've decided to bring forward all of the remains no deals to today. We’ve already started listing these and will continue to do so during today. 
 

In an effort to get these deals to you before Christmas, we’ve upgraded all UK orders to 24 hour at no extra cost. 
 

All the deals from the 1st to today are all available on our site: https://www.kmsrailtech.co.uk/380-advent-deals

 

Today, so far, we’ve added some ScotRail Inter7City coach / train packs. A Colas 37. DCC Concepts Alpha Meter and more to come!

 

There are deals there for all scales! Some of the previous discounts have even been increased!


thanks
