Steamport Southport Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I just wish I could have found Ian Allan when I was in Brum a few months ago. Gave up looking and went to Wetherspoons and found loads of bargains. I only had a vague idea where it was and wasn't going to spend all day looking. I think the building work that was going on confused me. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Here it is from satellite. Just turn left out of the exit to the trams and it’s on the corner of the second street on the other side of the road. PS I may be able to pop in next Thursday, will report on the bargains if I can.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NXEA! Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I’m not sure if it’s a permanent staple of their range, but my local Poundland in Norwich Riverside has car primer aerosols in stock, which I’d not seen before. They have black in both matte and satin, and I tried out their matte grey. Their grey is a good match for roof grey to my eye - I used it to spray the roofs of my Gresley Teaks to represent post-war condition. Can’t go wrong for £1, and it’s almost £6 cheaper per can than the Halfords equivalents! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buhar Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) Just found Loctite 60 second glue reduced to £3 in Sainsburys (Harrogate) clearance section, presumably same applies to other stores Only in those stores that are shutting. There's probably a few weeks yet before they actually close. Sorry, I was thinking of Homebase (that shows my age a bit, they used to be the same company).

Hroth Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) Around this time of year The Works has some good offers for cheap wall calenders, of which they stock a range addressing most tastes. They have a "Steam Trains 2019" for £3 which comes with an A5 desk diary, making it even better value! https://www.theworks.co.uk/p/calendar-and-diary-set/steam-trains-2019-calendar-and-diary-set/5060473136892 Each month has a large photo of a loco on one side of the fold, the other reasonably large day boxes. Cover photo of the calendar and the diary (and August) is of LNWR Webb Coal Tank 1054. As they stock crafty items too, its also well worth having a root about for stuff that might bs useful in a modelling context. There's also a "Steam Trains - Heritage" calender which has "historical" photos for £3, but doesn't have the diary. https://www.theworks.co.uk/p/2019-calendars/steam-trains---heritage-calendar-2019/9781786649003 Edited October 15, 2018 by Hroth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tim Hall Posted October 16, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 16, 2018 Rails of Sheffield SR pull-push coaches split from set. Which is mildly annoying, as I bought a 2nd hand set elsewhere last week, as I wanted the loco is that livery, and am planning to sell my original coaches online v soon, probably now for slightly less than I'd hoped Apologies for offthreadedness….

Damo666 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I’m not sure if it’s a permanent staple of their range, but my local Poundland in Norwich Riverside has car primer aerosols in stock... Would you kindly post a picture of the aerosol cans please? I've been to the local Poundland in Twickenham and also one in S.Wales over the weekend and cannot see any in stock. Maybe they are all sold out, or just not in the two stores I visited, but then again maybe I'm not looking in the right area, hence my polite request so that I know what to look out for.

Signaller69 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 In my local Poundland it's with the Tools and Glues . Agreed, the aerosols are good, usually blacks, greys, silver, white in my local store with the DIY / motoring stuff; note they are smaller in size than those found in Halfords etc (300ml instead of 500ml iirc, but hey it's £1). They also do 2 part "Bond Together" epoxy resin in a syringe dispenser which is as good as the premium brands imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse my ignorance (new to spray painting) but are the Primers (Matt Black and Grey, and Satin Black) which NXEA! mentioned different to the paint colour sprays.
