E-mail from Hattons re. warehouse clearance

 

https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/web-view?a=JGQeXh&c=MnyT4p&k=9774ff3a36cc1e7bb7ed12b94e8926fe&m=W8pjs2&r=ADdnE8Z

 

The best prices (for condition) appear to be Heljan diesel, dmu, electric (not steam). Some of the prices are pretty eyewatering for poor runners, non-runners etc, but I guess that's the second hand market situation at the moment. Might still be the ability for someone to bag a noisy runner of a special edition they've been waiting on and fix it up.


Some older Bachmann steam locos at good prices without anything stated as being wrong with them....

I couldn't get the link to work before when they emailed me!

 

A rough Hattons 66 for £83 looks quite good too

Buy it with one of these, do and engine swap and you've got yourself your very own Class 69

Another Kernow one, the Hornby Ceneratry Sir Nigel Gresley Train set for £189.99

 

https://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/66846/R1252M-WSL-Hornby-LNER-Sir-Nigel-Gresley-Train-Set-Centenary

 

This as far as I am aware has a super detail version of the A4 in it, and 2 Gresley coaches (and the oval of track and controller) so I think it sounds good value. 

 

Rovex train set for the same price with "Princess Elizabeth" inside

Part of their "Exhibition Specials"

Hattons have a single, sound-fitted, Bachmann Provinicial 150 (32-929SF) at £305.96, which appears to be a significant saving on RRP.

They did have a non-sound one at £220ish.. but that's now in my trunk!

They have a few other Bachmann bits just arrived as well... presumably another resale from another retailer.

Apologies if mentioned earlier but DCC Supplies has a 20% sale on Dapol O, OO and N gauge.  Examples:

 

O:

Autocoach £136

Class 08 £153

MGR £37

 

OO:

Westerns £103

22s £101

68s £105

122 £98

 

N:

Westerns £86

Hymeks £77

 

https://www.dccsupplies.com/cl-957/Dapol.htm

 

 

 

Be aware there may be stock listing issues due to staff off because of covid; I had one item refunded and for another they emailed me an option to substitute a weathered version - but with very friendly and helpful communication throughout, and it's a great deal overall.

 

It may be worth specifying up front alternatives if you want a low-stock item (e.g. you want a 5 plank PO mineral wagon but don't mind too much which one).

I will accept any criticism that this isn't strictly modelling related, but some of you may be interested to know that the base game of Train Sim World 2 by Dovetail Games is free on the Epic Games Store this week. This includes the Bakerloo Line, an ICE line from Koln to Aachen, and Sand Patch Grade, a US freight route. Be aware that, outside of sales, you may not consider the add-ons to be bargains unless you are a fanatic.

 

https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/p/train-sim-world-2

 

Please also note that if you are at all familiar with the layout of stations on the Bakerloo Line, the way that they have been simplified will drive you crazy. I know from experience, and I only commuted on it for a week.

I can’t see that offer on the website at all? 
 

anyone got a link

 

Apologies, it wasn't actually supposed to go out until next week on a co-ordinated email/social media/shop campaign but the social media man over here (me...) scheduled the wrong date and only noticed it had gone early when the orders started flooding in... 

 

We'll get a better link up on the site this morning :D
