RMweb Premium Welchester Posted January 24, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 24, 2018 Ian Allan in Brum have some Oxford locos with money off Dean Goods early GWR & BR now £70 (£99.95 previously) Similar amount off the Radials Also some diesel thing (Janus?) that was about £185? down to £135? I assume it must be sound fitted. (Sorry to be imprecise but I wasn't paying too much attention to it) Keith Still a number of the Oxford Dean Goods in the shop yesterday. More of the BR black than the GWR lined green. I went in expecting them to have sold out and was pleasantly surprised. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold CovDriver Posted January 24, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 24, 2018 It's probably because they're in the glass cabinets they're not exactly in an eye catching view. I was tempted yesterday but resisted temptation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst £54 for the Class 31 is cheap for certain the RRP is totally wrong, 162 was the highest I've seen for a 31 and that was the DCR one. given this is quite a few years old the RRP would have been much less Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

centraltrains Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 SO, does anyone know if there is any modern image included in the sale and what they are usually like. Tempted to make the trip north from Devon, given my wife wants a trip to Costco in Bristol, so this helps to kind of justify the visit. Thanks It's usually just what they list on their website and very limited stocks, often gone within the first 30 mins or so! Sometimes there is modern stuff, the discount amount and stock changes every weekend. I think I've brought one loco from their sale once but ended up selling it on a year later as only really brought it on impulse. 2 years ago they had one of the 4-coach older Hronby NSE EMUs for £60. Not exactly modern image to my liking though! Often when they have N Guage offers on they are really good prices and often include modern DMUs, But wrong gauge for me!

Sounds like it would probably be a wasted trip for me then, given the distance and that there seems to be not much of interest in that list (assuming that it will be that mainly plus a few other bits). Think I will save the effort for a more local event or show and see about a bargain then. Not sure 5hrs in the car is what I want to do. Remember that NSE and Sector is classed as modern image by the masses... I wonder whether the fact that there is usually more steam on offer suggests that diesel and electric are strong sellers, or perhaps the production runs are smaller...

Cheers are steam prototypes perhaps generally more tied to limited geographical areas? Most of the bigger Diesel classes could certainly turn up in a wide variety of places and might be easier to entice purchasers to have another one ... Electrics might be a bit more restricted and on thinking about it possibly end up stuck in the bargain bin a bit more often and for longer (said as a WCML AC electric fan!!)

andymac-2008 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Last week I purchased R3362 50024 Vanguard for £71.99 and I also noticed a Bachmann MLV in Jaffer Cake livery for just over £40 both was not on the list. Still it’s pot luck and in the past alot has gone in the first 10 minutes. Every weekend the sale changes. First week was 20% off plus another 20% if you had a letter sent to you when you have signed up for there mailing list. They had Bachmann 47s and Hornby class 60s. Last week it worked out to 60% off and all the stock had changed from the week before. This week it’s changed again. The sales normally runs until the end of Feb early March. The best weeks are 70% off sound. In the past I’ve had R3246TTS P2 Cock O The North for £65.84 Bachmann 37418 with sound split for a set for £73.48. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted January 25, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) are steam prototypes perhaps generally more tied to limited geographical areas? Yes, apart from certain BR Standard classes Most "Company" locos stayed on their patch with only certain freights and cross country trains wandering far afield This ex LSWR T9 heading for Birmingham is one of the furthest wanderings I've seen photographed: http://www.warwickshirerailways.com/gwr/gwrhj108.htm In BR days locos wandered around more than in "Big 4" times.

Looks to be good value, thanks I'd be most interested to know how good they are. I would like to buy some calipers and I'm finding it hard to choose something (I don't have any current need for high precision measurements beyond measuring wheel back-to-backs so I don't want to spend £40 on something if it's not necessary, but on the other hand I don't want to spend less if it gets me something that is essentially useless). Unfortunately looking on Amazon wasn't much use - the reviews seem to be largely bogus on such things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
