bennyboy Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Models Railways Direct are selling a lot of their Dapol Class 86's at only £48.99 which is less than half of the RRP! There are also other bargains on the site such as the Dapol Class 153 FNW DMU for £40. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Emily Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 The Beales department store in Bolton has quite a lot of stuff on sale in the toy shop in the basement. Hornby OTA wagons are £9.99 each with six different versions in two different liveries available. Also a lot of Airfix 1:76 kits are reduced to £3 each. The MK Bedford is close enough in scale to get adapted for late 1970s civilian use. Also all the Hornby Olympics sets are much reduced too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is good quality but very, very heavy. You will need a strong wall and strong fixings for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromptonnut Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I popped into the 99p shop in town earlier to get some more wrapping paper, and noticed a "Dental accessories set" for, erm, 99p containing various things including a toothbrush (which is probably good enough for scrubbing things covered in modelstrip), a small angled reflective mirror (which might be useful for uncoupling tension locks) and a 'plaque remover' type thing for cleaning in between your teeth, which looks perfect to me for coupling with three links.

Butler Henderson Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Modelzone have another sale on - £30 off the East Coast HST for example. Best to look on the web site as I found prices have not necessarily been lowered on the price labels in store but are applied at the till. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hattons still showing pre-order price for Dapol OO Class 21/29 as £104. Dapol have announced the manufacturing slots for these has been given over to Class 121/122 whilst they seek accurate drawings etc. Assuming Hattons honour their early price promises it probably will be in view of the pace at which prices are moving. They were selling the Bachmann SECR liveried Class C at just a shade above the trade price so I understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were selling the Bachmann SECR liveried Class C at just a shade above the trade price so I understand. Whenever I've pre-ordered - sometimes 12 months in advance - Hattons have held the original price. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

metman Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 STORAGE On a trip to Homebase on Friday I came across a tower stacking system (comprising of 4 translucent draws) at £14.95 each. The draws are the correct size to enable smaller rolling stock items to the stacked vertically and rakes of carriages etc to be stored horizontally. You can read the box ends through the plastic. The units can be stacked on top of each other and if like me my storage is in the roof no issues of sunlight damage to the boxes. When I purchased them on Friday there was 20% off if you spend over £50 so the outcome was 4 good storage stacks for less than £50. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 31A Posted December 30, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 30, 2012 Following a tip off from a friend, I called in at the National Railway Museum shop this afternoon, where they are selling their exclusive sets of 3 Bachmann private owners wagons for £15 each - in other words, £5 per wagon! The offer seems to apply to the regional co-op themed sets. I bought 37-076Y 'North West Cooperative' which includes wagons lettered for Stockport, Chester and Winsford Co-ops; also on the shelves were the 'Cotswold area' set (Chippenham, Stroud and Gloucester). On leaving the museum I noticed the 'Midlands' and 'London' area sets in the window display with the same price tag - for my purposes the London area would possibly have been more suitable, but as I intend to weather them etc. into BR condition the area is immaterial really. I chose the North West set as it contained two end door wagons and one with fixed ends - the Cotswold set had the proportions reversed and I thought end door wagons might have been more common. These are still priced at £29 per set on the NRM web site; I think the price tags in the shop said 'reduced from £27.50', a good bargain at £15 anyway!

ThaneofFife Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Those Ian Allen prices and items arent that different from those I saw late November. There isnt a great deal on offer there tbh and its largely the same story over at Modelzone. The new year may bring some further reductions though.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted December 30, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hobbycraft in Hull had various packs of Evergreen styrene strip for £1 each along with a small number of Hornby bits and bobs which were all reduced. Paul Hobbycraft pricing seems to vary from store to store! I managed to arrange a trip today that went past two of them. My "standard" 9 litre Really useful box was £4.11 in one shop and £5.49 in the other. BTW, Evergreen strip not stocked in one shop and £2.49 in the other. As I said, Hobbycraft pricing seems to be random - I went into one at the end of 2010 to find that a Hornby 31 that had been advertised as £29.99, was still at £75. I queried this with an assistant, who checked on her little hand held unit and then informed me that it was incorrectly marked and should be half-price - of the advertised price - £15!!!!................................. She hand-wrote the new price on a sticky label and attached it to the box - I couldn't get to the checkout fast enough. Unfortunately, they only had one in stock Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flapland Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Managed to pick up Bachmann 4 road shed in Ian Allen Waterloo for £79.95 only one though and not sure others have it so cheap. Not much else although they did have the DCC fitted Hornby O1 for I think £107 or £117. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
33040 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Evergreen stripstyrene at Hobbycraft - it is worth asking the price. Hobbycraft in Sidcup had a range at the normal price of £4.79 per pack according to the self edge label. I asked at the check-out and was told it was on sale - mainly at £1 per pack, with a few packs at £2 each. I purchased a selection and can confirm this. Hth.
