alastairq 2,215 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Still [in my jaundiced view] a good buy, especially as a lockdown special [something different?]? How easy would it be to replace the traction tyred wheel with a plain wheel, I wonder? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
maico 632 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 (edited) Stuff on the Marklin-Trix website is RRP. There was a reduced VAT rate in Germany that is applied at checkout at all German dealers but that seems to have ended. The loco mentioned is the cheaper Start series and that means it's not metal bodied boiler like most regular Trix and made in China not Germany or Hungary. The pictograms show which part of models are metal. Edited October 31 by maico Link to post Share on other sites
boxbrownie 4,862 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 2 hours ago, Nova Scotian said: Yes, apologies; my original post I had been mistaken in already thinking it was DCC, rather than being DCC ready. I edited, but could have done a better job. It does have traction tires, but like the electrotren 0-6-0T this seems like a good candidate for a pugbash, or even a better starting point for the whole steampunk thing. I wasn't sure on VAT, shipping etc (though it looked free/cheap?), and obviously post January things could change... The Loco is indeed DCC (with fitted chip) but the controller is a normal DC version. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Mel_H 772 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 If it's not been noted before, then the Bachmann 101 in 'refurbished white' is 40% off, making it £137 at Kernow. Stock levels show 'more than 10'.

JIJ 40 Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 (edited) Aldi have some Hornby sets on their website at the moment. The standard 0-4-0 + 3 wagons etc is a bit expensive, but I noticed they have a 3 coach javelin set for £79.99.

Richard Croft 3,447 Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 (edited) I will be offering daily discounts on one product each day on my website, as a lot of other retailers have been doing, hopefully this helps a few people who are looking for a lockdown project. The deals will be on dcc sound upgrade speakers and maybe the odd tool or accessory, I will post them all on my Facebook page but I wont clog up this thread with them all, don't worry! The first one is my current best selling speaker for £5.99, these were originally £9.99. Find more details and a video of the speaker below. https://www.roads-and-rails.co.uk/collections/speakers/products/25x25x7mm-square-megabass-speaker-4-ohm Richard Edited November 6 by Richard Croft 5 Link to post Share on other sites

It was the concern for a link which clearly wasn't the RoS website, especially as such short links can be a security risk. I don't use Twitter, so I don't know how (or why) links may be changed when copied, but I guess I (we ?) learned something today. There was certainly no criticism on posting a bargain. It was actually appreciated. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
