dave_long Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Steve I think that the range they used to have upstairs was quite large compared to what they sell now though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Taylor Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Aye the refurb, layout and subsequent stock policy has put me off Tamworth's Hobby craft too. Last I looked Coventry was heading the same way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted January 6, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 6, 2013 Haven't seen much 'proper' Hornby in any Hobbycraft for some time Keith EDIT: BTW Ian Allan in Brum has some sale items including Bachmann GWR RODs for £80 (Liverpool emporium is £104) Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted January 6, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hobbycraft Stockport had Evergreen strip at half price before Christmas, suspect they are stopping doing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardS Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Norwich seems to be going the same way from the evidence of a pre-xmas visit. I visited the Norwich branch of Hobbycraft today on the off chance of a bargain. A few bits, mainly Skaledale buildings in the sale but upstairs they had a quite a bit of Hornby all at normal HC prices. Certainly didn't look like they are clearing the Hornby range out here. It was mainly Railroad and 'standard stuff'. They also had good stocks of scenic materials and their plastic kit shelves were also well stocked. Maybe its a competition thing and being decided branch by branch. Picked up some Tamiya acrylics at £1.59 ea. Local Modelzone has then at £1.80 ea. But if anybody interested Norwich Modelzone also has Airfix 1/48 Canberra PR9 at £9.99 Incidentally, Youngsters World in East Dereham is closing down, they are concentrating on their Kings Lynn store. They have 20% off everything in the Dereham store at present. RichardS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdw7300 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hattons Bachmann 37/5 for £46 + p/p http://www.ehattons.com/32720/Bachmann_UK_32_386_Class_37_5_Co_Co_diesel_37514_in_Railfreight_Metals_Sector_livery_with_flush_fro/StockDetail.aspx Hattons had "more than 10" in stock on Friday. I went to order one on Saturday and they are out of stock! However, all is not lost, Kernow still have some in stock at the same price. http://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/product/30087/32386_Bachmann_Class_37_Diesel_Locomotive_number_37_514 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickL2008 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hobbycraft Stockport had Evergreen strip at half price before Christmas, suspect they are stopping doing it. Hobbycraft now have stopped selling Evergreen Plastic strips etc, as for the Hornby Range, the new stores dont have it, the older stores eventually will be getting rid of all of thier stocks and keeping a minimum range dont think were getting any more locos in for the foreseeable future now NL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zabdiel Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Before Christmas my M&S had some MGBs, which appeared to my eye to be the Oxford 1/76 model (or a close copy). HTH. Yes, that's what they were. M&S Winchester had two (one red, one green) at £3 which doesn't seem that cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium mezzoman253 Posted January 10, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hi, I've looked at the Ian Allan website and can only find books, do the models appear anywhere, or is a visit required to a store? Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Rob I'm afraid it's going to have to be a visit into Ian Allan as they've never advertised models on the website as far as I know also there are many books at the back of the store in Birmingham that are reduced up to 50% Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium mezzoman253 Posted January 10, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 10, 2013 Colin, Thanks for that, I expected as much, but wanted clarification. My nearest store would involve a drive to Upminster, parking and a one-day travel card to London. That would probably negate any savings. I'll have to remember next time I'm in London to pay a visit and see what's available. Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hardly anything reduced at Waterloo, the model section is quite small though some of their normal prices for locos are actually quite good. Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohmisterporter Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Always interesting to see what is going on elsewhere, but even at sale prices some European models are frighteningly expensive. It does make one realise how well off we are in the UK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
