SR71 253 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I can't advise on a specific bargain (I bought it!) but Bill Hudson transport books are doing free delivery at the moment. They don't seem to come up in the usual book search engines but found the book I wanted from them at a third the cost of other online sellers via page 4 or 5 of a tenuous Google search.

Strange, I just ordered an 2EPB and a 66 and the total matched the price on the page (plus 4 quid postage) It is confusing/strange the way the VAT is separately itemised but not added to the Total cost Edited August 1, 2020 by spamcan61 1 Link to post Share on other sites

maico 709 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 It's a legal requirement on a consumer website in the UK to show the VAT inclusive price and that is what MRD do. It's normal for a trade site to show prices ex. VAT. Link to post Share on other sites

Willoughby Glen 313 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Looks like Hereford Model Centre has been checking their storage area again, as they have found this Class 155 in West Yorkshire PTE Livery for £75 http://herefordmodels.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=340_350_354_352&products_id=12441 They have also listed 2 of the sold out Class 800 sets as well, not bargain prices but bargains compared to ebay and worth flagging: http://herefordmodels.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=524_1&products_id=12437 http://herefordmodels.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=524_1&products_id=12438 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

As I'm wondering where they are digging them up from. That's about 12 years old. It's also interesting to see the prices of the items. For example the GNER 225 packs. The one that is named (R2427), with working panto is cheaper than the one that isn't, with fake panto (R2002A). R2427 is from 2004 and R2002A is from 2002 so the pricing is a bit weird as I would expect the newer model with better panto to be dearer. The RRPs according to Hornby guide also show R2002A being more expensive. Was it around then they moved production to China? Or did they reduce the price because the competitiveness of the model was dwindling?

MartynJPearson 350 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Not on the scale of the Model Railways Direct sale (still bitter, missing a bargain sound Class 47 is one thing, but going to the effort of getting permission from the wife and then missing out is on a completely different level!), however anyone in the market for a OO code 100 single slip might like to head over to Ellis Clark Railworks - preowned but described as "As new", 7 quid each! https://clarkrailworks.com/products/peco-oo-ho-sl-80-insulfrog-single-slip?_pos=1&_sid=bfb550eca&_ss=r 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Monk Bar models of York has 37025 in large logo livery and the regional edition intercity class 37 (both bach) on their site for £129.99. I had seen others trying to track down 37025 but struggling to find one at full price previously. Alas i already have both, bought at full price... M 1 Link to post Share on other sites

M I am pretty sure these have been raised before on here a while back, but that doesn't detract from the bargain IMO. I do remember it as Monk bar is one of the more local shops to me and that I also have a 37025! So £129.99 is in my opinion.good value for what is a loco in its current state that spends time with other 37s that are also available from Bachmann, the ones that spring to mine are 099 and 421.
