Heading for another lockdown..........

 

On the bargain front, Cheltenham models did have some of the new release of Dapol 68s on their stand at Manchester Ex last week at £125.

 

Although they aren't listed on their website, it may be worth giving them a call.

 

Cheers,

Mick

Arghh CoY, you've brought politics into this thread now.

 

Just to throw in a Bargains update: Sawyers has nothing listed for Today's Advent.

 

There is today, the website must be playing up as there was a notification out on email list of it being Graham Farish N gauge figures

Not sure if it counts as a bargain but Asda Sittingbourne have a basic trainset with GWR 101 0-4-0 loco and three wagons plus track and controller on roll back to £40.  It had started at £120 and was then rolled back to £60 and now to £40.  I think I will wait until 27 December when I expect it will be sub £40 - I can then sell off the parts individually on eBay for a huge profit...

 

Regards,

 

Steve

We've just had a branch of The Works open in Sheringham and my daughter picked this up as an early Christmas present for me...

Available in-store and online for £6 instead of £22.99. It's quite a decent read and is full of cut-away drawings and diagrams as well as photos and artwork. Might be of interest to some.

 

Edit: I've just been back into The Works on the way to the post office. They're also doing the Haynes Flying Scotsman manual for £6, although I can't find it online, just in-store. May be of interest to some, but the only kettle that appeals to me right now is the one I can use to make tea, as it's bleedin' cold out...

Not a specific bargain per se, but Danish retail chain "Tiger" sell various odds & ends that could be useful for modelling such as wooden shapes, coloured clays, paints etc.

All are by today's standards quite reasonably priced.

 

It's a bit of an odd-ball shop as it sells artist's material, gifts, stationery, toys, food snacks and other stuff beside!

It's a sort of baby Ikea, complete with the need to slalom through the entire shop to get to the exit.

Rails tomorrow Hornby 50.026 Indomitable.  Today it's £99.50.

Thats not good, I am waiting for my credit card bill and it isnt going to be pretty but I really really need a couple of these to renumber, I have managed to resist up to now but oh dear.
