RMweb Gold tetsudofan Posted February 2, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2018 John Scott made its way down to the southeast corner this morning. Test ran on analogue and placed on programming track: Apologies for rather wishy-washy pics but the sun was shining into the train room..... Now waiting for the local Rep's COLAS Rebecca to arrive.

classy52 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) Thanks - just rang & ordered one with Arcadia - lovely people to talk to and a very keen price on the model. Absolutely, their price can't be beaten on this model and nice people to deal with. Got my one this morning and tested on my rolling road, what a great DRS 47, can't wait for my pre-ordered Colas 47 Rebecca albeit from a different retailer.

dogbox321 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Good to see not every retailer is milking these models at RRP, and is being fair to modellers. Shops like these deserve peoples repeat business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47375 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I had pre-ordered one from Arcadia as well, good price and a very friendly helpful service on the phone this morning. Looking forward to receiving the model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virginhst539 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 just been a bought DRS 47805 from my local model shop. very nice model indeed and hopefully more rep exclusives will follow in the future seeing these seem to be selling well.

Shops like these deserve peoples repeat business.Why is a shop selling at RRP being unfair to modellers, or 'milking' it? These businesses have to make a living, maybe some of the discount levels expected by modellers (not pointing this directly at you, just in general) are actually not fair?

These businesses have to make a living, maybe some of the discount levels expected by modellers (not pointing this directly at you, just in general) are actually not fair? If anything, you could argue that these Rep Limited Editions are already "discounted", in that the price is the same as for a standard release (31-663 47209 is also RRP £159.95). Most shop limited editions, because the production run is short, have a premium added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted February 2, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 2, 2018 Selling at RRP is not milking it in my opinion. Charging well over the RRP on EBay to make a fast buck and depriving a genuine modeler the chance to purchase at the proper price on the other hand most definitely is... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shunny Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I think it was Bachmann who asked for these to be sold a t RRP so that the smaller shops in there patch could have a chance to sell these and have to compete with the big discount retailers and loose out as everyone ordered online as they were much cheaper than them. I think this was raised at the beginning of the thread as number of shops in my area would have been competing with Hatton's for the DRS 47 for example.

Aycliffe Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Anyone else got 47805 and disappointed at the quality of the paintwork on the lower window edge, where the two colours meet. Mine seems worse on No1 end with a very poor definition and uneven application. Hard to see on a photo but compared to Vitrains 47853 is shocking.

Widnes Model Centre Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Any retailers on here still have a DRS one in stock? Have a Colas & Anglia on order & somehow missed the DRS one. Ta Hi, We have some left. The DRS 47 is £154.95p, which is the RRP. We were asked to stick to this so everyone was charging the same price. This was to encourage the smaller shops to take them on and not have to compete with the larger retailers. Postage at cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see there exist some decent folk who are not out to just make money. Some Anglia one already on eBay for 200£ Mark. Shame on those who are just out to make a quick buck.
