Also lots of 'O gauge' wagons. https://www.modellbahnunion.com/O-gauge/Models-from-Great-Britain-O.htm?shop=modellbahn-union-en&a=catalog&p=1049&filter=k3264g3730p3732

 

Eg. GWR Door To Door 33.50 Euros (UK cost around £60), some 7 plank opens 22.50 Euros and some BR brake vans for 39 Euros*

 

For reference, last time I ordered from MBU (a while ago) the final, total GP pound price (after customs) was just over the Euro price on screen (* when set to UK region, so with no sales tax on the page as above), I think 1Euro worked out at £1.05 in the end - so the 7 plank wagons should be under £25. This depends on the exchange rate, card charges and order size, of course.

 

Update: I ordered via UPS and was correctly charged VAT and also a handling fee, so the container and the opens ended up being £31.89 and £23.80 respectively.
It looks like the import VAT starts at £135 price+delivery so I assume (always dangerous) that a smaller delivery would be delivered without these charges and so be even cheaper? It would have been £26.28 and £17.65 with no duty (that's including a higher proportion of delivery charge), even more of a bargain at that price!

Tennents Trains are selling some of the Farish Class 08s for £101.47. Don't hang about though as there only seems to be one of each type in stock.

Their secondhand section is worth a look too.  Got some good prices on sound equipped locos and various other items too.

 

Couple of examples:

It's been running over the weekend, but i've just seen RAILS OF SHEFFIELD have extended their 40% off sale on their eBay listings. It's only available on selected items though, but there may be a bargain or two in there if you were looking for something.

Hattons have announced a "HUGE warehouse clearance sale" with amazing deals of up to 20% off.

 

Over 10 000 products reduced apparently.

 

They must have quite a big warehouse.

 

And presumably would like to have more money in the bank and less stock in their warehouse.
