Hattons doing Port of London Authority Janus shunter for £59

 

https://www.hattons.co.uk/newsdetail.aspx?id=567

 

I was able to get one while available.  When I purchased there was more than 10 instock and I had considered a second as a spare at the time.  I am surprised how quickly they vanished given the "ICI" version last year at GBP49.00 seemed to stagnate until offered with rolling stock.

That Pendo looks a good deal too:

I got one of them 37s, cheapest I had seen it before was about £140 and I have been waiting for what I feel is a reasonable price for the loco, I don't really have any interest in the planes which is why I wasn't bothered at around RRP.

I thought this looked good value at Clark Railworks:

 

https://clarkrailworks.com/collections/oo-gauge/products/Heljan-oo-33351-33207-west-coast-railway-dcc-fitted

 

A WCRC 33207 DCC fitted for £100. I think I have looked for this loco before and it was always more than this on the used market, let alone with a decoder.

 

Also when compared to eBay prices this doesn't seem absolutely insane given it has 8 cars and a warranty, not a bargain though but maybe of interest:

Called into bourton model centre earlier, the reason for the sale is it’s closing down at the end of the month so it’s 30% off all rolling stock, 20% off accessories and 50% off the Hornby steampunk range (£18 for a loco, use file for the chassis maybe

 

Lots of Hornby MK3s, gwr, Lner, NMT, XC sliding door type for about £22 after discount

 

efe gatestock, maroon livery £87.50

 

dcc fitted Bachmann MK2s, £50.40

they said they are all in the website and can be bought from there

 

i got myself an EFE Hymek for £91, there are 2 weathered left (blue and green liveries) for £112 

 

shame to see a shop closing but the owners are retiring and it’s simply not continuing

Thanks Jim. Just bought sound fitted Bachmann 32-740SF Class 66/7 667789 British Rail Large Logo for £175 which seems reasonable.  They seem to be still in stock.

"Get your hands on this incredibly generous LNER Bundle. It includes one LNER locomotive (R3521) D16/3 Class, 4-4-0, 8802 - Era 3 and comes teamed with a random selection of LNER wagons.

The same model is widely available for a lower price than that. The R6980 GWR version can also be found even cheaper, as low as £16.99.
