The Heljan 128s have the heft and pulling power of a diesel loco, its a pity that in real life they were seen at most with a tail load of a couple of vans or parcel brakes. They wouldn't look out of place in front of a rake of Mk1s...... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted October 30, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 30, 2018 Lots of Hornby Mk2e's in blue and grey sub fifteen quid a pop for those baulking at Bachmann's Mk2f's and fancy doing a little modelling too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted October 30, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) I just dont need any more K1/Radials/71/J50/d16/j15s. I just got timely advice on class68’s too, which saved me diving into a bargain that might not be as good as it sounded. However at £39 for R3275, my fleet of 14 Lima TOPS era class 31’s have just got a Hornby chassis upgrade., and my damaged class 85 also just got replaced. There is however a bargain feast to be had when it comes to Hornby coaches... £12 the lowest for a railroad BG.

Silver Sidelines Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Yes Scott - Minoru - Hattons have been trying to off load this model for a number of years. I wonder what yours will turn out like. ..£71 for an early emblem A3 was too good for me to say no to.... I bought this from Hattons a year or so ago. It went straight back because of the shape of the upturned footplate. Unusually for Hattons they wouldn't send out a replacement because they said they were all made like that.

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted October 30, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) Just a note on the Hattons special offer, in the not so small print... “The sale will end on Monday 31st December 2018 (or whilst stocks last).” So you have time to do a few rounds, whilst waiting for the 10% discount, 6 week wait period to end on new releases.

I wouldn't panic. Most of the stuff in the sale has been at that price for months. It seems that people don't notice until you have a big sign saying SALE!

Hroth Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I've been conducting a census of my locomotive establishment and I find that even if some of the prices being offered by Hattons (eg R3170 Adderly Hall @ £49) are rather tempting, I've already got more than enough locos for my traffic needs!

IamDaniel Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I'd been meaning to get hold of a rake of maroon Mk1s so £12 a pop for some works well for me. Having missed out on the Rails discounted 80135 a few months ago, I figured £87 isn't too bad, nor is £79 for 61310. And here I was thinking I'd save up my modelling money for Warley...

I am rapidly coming to the same conclusion, the layout certainly needs more locos eventually however there is a much greater need for more freight and more coach kits to be built...

jukebox Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Look at the Book Law thread better known as the Hermes Ski Jump edition. Yep - have done, mick. At under £60 (because of the VAT deduction), my tolerance for some fettling is pretty broad... these go for very silly money down under, and I suspect in a worst case scenario, I could on sell it for what I paid with little trouble. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo666 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 So you have time to do a few rounds, whilst waiting for the 10% discount, 6 week wait period to end on new releases. I'm reasonably new to this lark. What do you mean by the 10% discount and 6 week wait period? Do you figure there might be better discounts later from Hattons, or others?

Do you figure there might be better discounts later from Hattons, or others? some discussion on this here http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/137631-Hornby-discount-limits/ it's the period for which retailers can't offer more than 10% off RRP (for Hornby), after which they can. cheers, Keith Edited November 1, 2018 by tractionman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roddy Angus Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Just heard tonight that Harburn Hobbies in Edinburgh are hosting a Peco and Bachmann pre-Christmas promotional event on Friday 9th & Saturday 10th November 2018. There will be up to 20% off most Peco, Parkside, Bachmann and Graham Farish products (in shop only). Steve Haynes, Peco's Sales Manager, will be at the event to answer questions. There will also be a special appearance by one of the team leaders from 'The Great Model Railway Challenge'. Mark of the 'Diesel Dynamos' will be in the shop on Saturday 10th November between 2-4pm.

Having said that, I've got a very similar-looking loco in HO which hasn't seen the light of day on a layout yet, so maybe that ought to be my priority...
