bart2day Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Speaking of incorrect pricing, anyone care for a coach at a cool £3499? It’s not even a real one. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the firmware version, if it's the latest it supports up to 28 now. Edit to add: Mine just came, firmware is version 1.5. Manual says it supports up to 28 functions so should be good. Annoyingly the function activation is different from older versions which will make it a bit harder for me as I use them as slave units to my elite and they'll have different controls now! Edited to further add: Woah, they sold out quickly. Guess I won't be getting a 2nd then! Edited August 1, 2019 by centraltrains 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hroth Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Not strictly "bargains".... Argos are selling off their specially boxed Railroad level "Javelin" train set, aka "Intercity Express" for £90 less a penny. https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7097449 because Hornby have done a new livery for them called "City Express" for bang on £100.... https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9304398 The only difference, apart from the cod liveries, is that the new set has the new power controller and a little plastic rerailing device. Of course, you might say its the same colour scheme as "My First Express Train", which would save you £70. https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7309065 Edited August 11, 2019 by Hroth 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do fictional liveries really sell that much better to kids? When I was a (10 year old) kid, after getting my first train set, all I desired was a model in the livery of my local trains... Still think it's quite steep at £90. P.S. Surely a downgrade from going between many cities "intercity", to now, I assume, circulating the one "city"!!

Maybe Hornby chose not to continue doing it as Southeastern (think they've been producing them since the Javelins first came out), and maybe wanted to make it more generic to fit a wider audience, but I would certainly prefer one with the real livery.
