Bargain Hunters Mark 2


Recommended Posts

American Express are starting their shop-small promotion today until Dec 16th. Spend £10 or more at participating small businesses and receive £5 back on your statement. Could be worth checking if your local model shop is taking part. I've found Harburn hobbies in Edinburgh are participating.

The Flying Scotsman one is £6 on the website if anyone is interested. Check instore if you can as some stores have different offers.

 

They're quite useful for detailed photos. There are ones on GWR Castles and Tornado as well. But they're out of stock on the website.

Loads of those still at £6 in my local shop. Also plenty of other cheap railway books, including this one on lost railway architecture which had lots of good photos.

I did pass by later on Saturday morning and grabbed a Highlander coach pack with 101 driving trailer for a bargain price; so it wasn’t all bad.

A point I was going to make on another thread about the queues before the opening of model shows! You will get some bargains early doors but there will be plenty more buried in the back that won't come out until later.

Not sure if this is the best place for this but found these in Asda today.

They work from 3 1.5v AA batteries but with a resister in series.  I haven't worked out its value yet but I'm sure that with removing the battery box and a bit of jiggery-pokery I will be able to find a lot of uses for sections of them. For a fiver I thought why not.

They are quite warm in colour and I didn't notice if they did similar in cool white.

I am sure that they may be better value on Boxing Day or later!

Heads up for the early risers...

Having never bought (or used!) an airbrush before, I have no idea if this is any cop, so apologies if it isn't - however it will be on the Amazon Lightning Deals at 6.50AM GMT on 06/12/18

I've got 2 Iwatas but at this price, getting an airbrush which has 3 different needles (and thus nozzles also) seems well worth trying.

For any G Scale modellers out there, Rails have just listed quite a few Newqida items on eBay here . This includes a number of box vans and stake wagons at less than £15, and bogie coaches with four different liveries at less than £30 - including the crimson/cream, blue/cream and green/cream versions.

 

As a side note, I own three of the green coaches already and a box van, and have to say that for the price they are fantastic models.
