S.A.C Martin Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 My N2 plus Teak sets arrived today - well packed and excellent service overall.

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted February 8, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2013 I've been thinking about the Hornby Olympics 1948 train pack discussed last week.Am I right in saying all Olympic stock must be sold by a certain time.Its just a lot of online retailers are selling them for well over the £100 mark and may be left with them on the shelves.Maybe they will have to follow Model Railways Directs lead to get rid.

S.A.C Martin Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Should we see anymore of the N2 plus teaks sets go below the £100 mark again, I think I'd get the credit card out...can't have too many of those teaks, and the spare N2 chassis will be useful for combining with Andy J's excellent 3D printed N1 kit. This is the sort of set though that would have done brilliantly if it had been paired with a 3rd brake and a 3rd class Gresley Suburban coach, and priced accordingly, without the Olympic paraphernalia. One of those things, but I'm not complaining as I've done very well out of Hornby's misfortune. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted February 8, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2013 You would think the design clever approach would be to supply the retailers with new non-olympic packaging for the unsold locos and coaches to put them back into regular stock. They'd lose less like that than having to discount them so heavily to dispose of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
