James90012 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 There were some real bargains on there. Reacted too slow to get the Wrexham Mk3s for 13.50 (!) each. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leavesontheline Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Last night they (themodeller.com) still had most of the pullman coaches that have been on offer for months, but they had started to add one or two items like decoders and track items. Today it has changed considerably with a few more coaches (they did have some more Hawksworths but these seem to have gone now too!), wagons, track items, decoders but no locos as already mentioned by pauln. There are however loads more Skaledale buildings and scenic items than there were last night. Most seem to be at 50% too. Some good bargains if you are after anything from this range.

kintbury jon Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I was tempted by some cheap mark 2's in blue grey (£14) and I/C (£13.50) but decided it would be better to hold on for the new Hornby 2e /Bachmann 2f examples. Hope i'm not disappointed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Thanks guys, that's my daughter's xmas present taken care of - a whole load of Hornby clip together buildings / bridges / stations etc to add to her current oval of track + Thomas. Best bit is that they are clip together so I can start teaching her some basic modelling :-) M Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Abel Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 No idea if it's truly a "bargain" or not, as I'm not personally interested in the set (or even individual A4s!!) BUT, apparently Hornby have been rummaging around in their basement and found "THE LAST EIGHT SETS" of "The Great Goodbye", according to their FACEBOOK post! On sale on their web site for one penny shy of a thousand quid ---> http://www.Hornby.com/lner-4-6-2-mallard-a4-class-the-great-goodbye.html Edit: Wasn't sure where else to post this, it "might" be a bargain if eBay offerings are anything to go by - I understand you have to WANT one of course for it to be that way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve K Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I bought one of those sets, but all the locos were numbered 4464. I'm not going to risk it again. Once Bittern... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted October 21, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 21, 2014 Not a model item but my local Tesco's has Osram 10 watt (60 watt equivalent) LED light bulbs at £10 each with a BOGOF offer making them £5 each.

Jenny Emily Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I find my "bargains" in the local charity shops like Bachmann 47535 fitted with dcc sound,bought for the sum of £30 You lucky so and so! I bet that made your day. The only railway stuff I've ever found in charity shops were an assortment of old Hornby wagons in the local Oxfam shop for a larger price than their modern counterparts could be bought for new. I declined on many levels. I did get a Bachmann BR blue/grey class 411 from a Cash converter in pristine boxed condition for a steal, but that's about it.

Norm81 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Not sure how much of a bargain these are, but Fenwick in Newcastle have a good few Hornby Class 56 Oystermouth reduced to £110. I'm living in the hope if I go back in a few weeks they'll reduce them further. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raised On Steam Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I passed through Fenwicks today myself and had a quick look. I wouldn't get your hopes up too much, those reduced loco's haven't changed in months. The only one I couldn't see that must have been sold was the O1, everything else looked much the same as last time I was in there. I see they had P2's on display though. Nice to finally see it!

Il Grifone Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The people running the "shop" class model railways as "kids" Toys so were priced as secondhand worn out toys to them... It would appear that they were not priced as 'worn out' - normal charity shop practice in my experience. They are no longer the source of bargains they used to be.

sub39h Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Model Fair seems to have some keen prices at the moment. (I refrain from using the word "bargain" when talking about model railway prices nowadays, but they're significantly cheaper than other sellers.) Bachmann MEAs for less than £10 (Hattons price £12.71), BAAs for around £16 (around £22 at all other retailers), Hornby KFA for under £26. All types of eras and stock available so definitely worth a look Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
