andyman7 1,974 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Just a reminder that the Ian Allan Bookshop in Waterloo has 33% off models from today until it closes down at the end of Oct (personal callers only). I guess a lot of the high profile models will disappear fairly quickly but things like track and accessories tend to linger yet are rarely marked down by retailers as they are normal 'stock' items. Despite the closure there were new release models in there from Hornby and EFE Rail - presumably ordered before the closure announcement. They even had a pair of Hornby DRS BSOs newly delivered yet available for under £24 each (no TSO though.....) 2 Link to post Share on other sites

NXEA! 308 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) I popped into Ian Allan this morning around 9.30, decent amount still available. A few highlights which stood out for me were two Bachmann NSE 117’s for £220, and a Bachmann Green SYP Thumper for £170. There were a couple of Bachmann 37’s available in different guises too (WCRC, DRS in Sound and non-sound, one in grey with Railfreight General decals) and several other things too such as various Hornby HST Mark 3’s (plenty of XC and GWR sliding door ones). To my surprise they had a solitary blue EFE Rail Hymek available too. They were going through a stickering exercise when I popped in this morning, it’s not a flat 33% off from what I could tell - for example I took a Hornby B12 to the till for £137 thinking I’d get 33% off but they were selling it for £116 not the circa £90ish quid I was expecting. It’s not a complaint or a gripe, just a heads-up as to the pricing, still definitely worth a visit as there is some good stuff available. Popped in there regularly over the years, will be sad to see it go. Best of luck to the staff there for the future. Edited September 28, 2020 by NXEA! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

And out of stock so at least 2 of the 3 went for less that £300 which is quite the bargain if that sort of thing floats your boat. Often the price jumps back up if you look at it funny.

If a potential purchaser was thinking of getting one and the Hornby/Amazon price tag was keeping the wallet welded shut, then the price cut must have sprung a few seams... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Well it's all somewhat subjective, but Kernow still have plenty of new Bachmann coaches at around the same price that they are going for second hand on ebay, and quite a lot less than current RRPs. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
