The 'New' LMS 4P at £152: (Though given previous discussion, there's a question of whether that's actually a 'bargain')

Now a few days in and there are some real bargains to be had.

There is a Bachmann cl37 for £127.94, a couple of Bachmann 009 locos for between £105 and £118.10. There are a couple of Dapol class 73's, one at £85.29 the other sound fitted at £160.75. A Hornby R3434 Merchant navy for £131.22, a Rapid BR dynamometer coach for £78.73, a Rapid Titfield Thunderbolt train pack for £170.59 and an n gauge Kato Eurostar for £131.22. 

There are also a lot of continental stock. 

Other than being a very satisfied customer I have no connection to this shop. 

The Dapol 73 is now £76.

Rapido Titfield Thunderbolt now just £153.

Poor Lemburg doesn't get much love. At 128 GBP it's a steal for modern tooling, diecast footplate etc.

We seem to be back to some pretty deep discounting - good for buyers, but not for the companies - stock sitting around, more and more getting into the 40%-50% off range.

Not letting me post as a link.

Copying and pasting  "1/87 Ho Scale Train 50cm Track Model Accessories Train Treadmill Track Bearing Train Roller Test Stand With 8 Rollers Kids Gifts - AliExpress" into Google will take you to the right page.  Note that I think you have to click on the right image to select which package you want.

Hampshire models sale

 

https://www.hampshiremodels.co.uk/collections/sale

 

One bonus seems to be they have stock from a couple of years ago, discounted against the RRP from then (rather than now). Few quid cheaper on a few items than elsewhere. Eg. https://www.hampshiremodels.co.uk/products/Dapol-4s-041-001-oo-gauge-large-prairie-2-6-2-5109-green-great-western?_pos=1&_sid=5f968e6af&_ss=r

Hornby 4 VEPs at €269.99 till 1st April from Model Bahn Union

 

OK you have to take off 19% German VAT, convert to pounds and pay UK VAT plus £12 admin fee to the post office ( choose DHL option it comes Deutsche Post and Royal Mail) in about 5 days or so. 

 

Still a good price in my opinion regardless

That's because they didn't produce anywhere near enough of the composite corridors! Without those all your three car sets are two car sets! 

 

40% off a new Bachmann 37, not seen one this cheap yet. https://www.themodelcentre.com/35-304
