RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted October 30, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) ah - FSM kits - lovely things! I think that modellers in the UK don't buy these type of kits as soon as they see the price. What they fail to realise is the quality of kit they are missing out on. I have one - it cost me more than I paid for a loco at the time. So , 5 years later, the kit is still the same price, the cost of getting it to the UK has doubled and then you have to pay duty plus the fixed fee for RM/ParcelForce colledting the duty. However, the same loco has almost doubled in price! Anyway, the point is - you get what you pay for, a quality product. Thanks Phil H Edited October 30, 2020 by Scottish Modeller Edit to add photo of the kit I bought 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure there is going to be a ‘market’ as such - I’d imagine they rarely come up for sale. Does the NMRA has a way of trading (if applicable - I’m not a member so it’s just a thought).

jasond Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Phil, v minor point, there's no duty, just VAT on the declared product cost and shipping cost added together. Still painful. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
