bennyboy Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I've been looking for a good price on a Graham Farish Class 55 in Rail Blue and I noticed that The Model Centre is selling them for £89.99 which is £16 cheaper than Hattons. https://www.themodelcentre.com/371-287/ 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) If you fancy a Shilhouette Portrait cutting machine, Yolo ( http://www.yolo.co.uk/ ) are having one of their periodic 12% off sales, ending 12pm Wednesday 4th October. Their prices are shown plus vat, so the cost of a Portrait works out at about £128, inc VAT and delivery, a it cheaper than the normal going rate of about £148 elsewhere! btw - its not mentioned anywhere, but the discount will be applied at the point of sale. Edit - Link fixed. It ran into the closing bracket and confused the forum! Edited October 3, 2017 by Hroth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jongudmund Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 If you buy Model Rail in Tesco this month it comes with a free copy of Great Model Railways Vol 5 (the Bookazine series produced by MR). This offer is exclusive to Tesco. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold CovDriver Posted October 10, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 10, 2017 Just having a trawl through the Hattons website and it appears that they have some Bachmann class 416 2EPB's in the plain BR Blue livery at a bargain price of £72 instead of £124.95 Cheers Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is a bargain considering they are £114 more now new. Do I need any more than the one I have, resist resist. They are showing as top sellers this week so perhaps it isn't a stocking error.

ANT Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hello All LIDL supermarket from on Sunday 15th October are selling a Digital Soldering Station, including 48watt Iron with 3 interchangeable tips, and stand/sponge. It might even include a reel of solder. It has three preset temps of 200, 300 and 400 degC, and is variable from 200 to 450degC. Not as low a temperature as some expensive models which go down to white metal temperatures, but this is priced at only £17.99.

Hound Dog Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Not sure if this is the correct place to have a purchase related moan, but ordered 6-off in stock items from Hattons on 6th Oct and paid for postage etc, and now 6 days later they are still faffing around trying to pull parts off pallets because they are in chaos due to new system and have a major backlog.........in the interim ordered and recd other items from Rails and Trakshak ( within 24hrs from Isle of Man), so clearly other outlets have their act together..........

See below link: https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/Non-Food-Offers.htm?articleId=6988 Thanks SEEYA ANT I bought one of those last time they were in store. Unfortunately it failed the second time I tried to use it, so it had to go back for a refund. That's one of the slight gotchas with buying stuff like that from Lidl: they only have limited stocks so there's a fair chance that they won't be able to provide a replacement if the item does fail after more than about a month or so. That said, I've had perfectly acceptable service from other bits of DIY kit bought from both Lidl and Aldi - you'd have to prise my Workzone Li-ion multi-tool out of my cold, dead hands! I ended up buying an iron from Maplin that was recommended on RMWeb (possibly on the old Bargain Hunters thread) that goes down to 150º. Significantly more expensive but it does have that extra capability. Update: it was this one. Edited October 12, 2017 by ejstubbs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a lot of tools in atm which some might find useful. They are a good company to deal with I bought one of the battery operated multi-tools and decided an extra battery would be useful. Contacted them, no problem, paid for it and the second battery was with me in a couple of days. Excellent service. Useful tool at a good price if they pop up in store again. keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However Hattons have made no bones about the fact that a recent stock check has caused them some disruption.m Fair comment - just needed a rant as I only placed the order with them because all the items were in-stock and now this weekend's scheduled modelling activities are a non-starter........however like most, I am sure I can always find other things to do on my layout.

The EPBs have dissappeared - there were 8 earlier so either they've all been snapped up or they were a stocking error - either way good - I was getting tempted.

royaloak Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 And none left by 8:25pm, thank you for pointing that out! Apologies for quoting myself but all 7 arrived the other day and the 'weathering' isnt as bad as I was expecting and just needs a little bit of fettling to make it look quite reasonable.
